winter melon with pickled lemon and chicken soup

Winter Lemon is a big green melon that has the 'Yang' or cold property in Chinese Yin-Yang therory. It tastes not so much but give us some soft and mild sweet flavour when make with soup. Pickled lime juice is difficult to find where I live and I am too lazy for make it so I use fresh lime juice instead and it sounds not so much different. This is an easy made and easy take chinese soup served with jasmin rice. You can have other side dishes to fulfil your typical meal.
Peel off the thick green cover of Winter melon and cut it into medium sized pieces.
Boiled water and add chicken stock or chicken cube e.g. Kanor and add water melon, chicken.
Until Winter Melon are soft and turn glassy appearance, switch off the heat and then add fresh lime juice! That's it. Easy as I told you. Some people like clear soup and don't prefer sour of lime juice, you can skip it.
