So, just simmer pork meat a real long time, add some soy sauce and perhaps vegetables?

Wintermelon is very probably available at the indy supermarket 1/4 mile up the street from me. It's Asian owned and there's a large Asian contingent in our extremely diverse community.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I was talking about two things in the post.

There is the braised pork belly, which utilizes the two types of soy sauce. https://thewoksoflife.com/shanghai-style-braised-pork-belly/

The soup does not require soy sauce, although after the meat is cooked, the meat can be dipped into a sesame oil and soy sauce mixture when eaten. It's the picnic shoulder cut that I recall being used. Just put the whole should in water and let it cook in hot water. I recall bring the soup to boiling and then reducing the heat but other recipes online do not. As long as the meat reaches a flake-off texture, it's ready.

I like a little salt and MSG in the soup. The combo of rice, MSG, and salt increases the palatability.

Wintermelon can be made into a sugary candy. Not exactly a tooth friendly food that way. http://unclephilipsg.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-to-make-candied-winter-melon-aka.html

Whole should? You mean shoulder?

Growing up our favorite family dine out was Chinese! My dad was a captain in the US Army in WW II and told a story of the officers being treated by the officers of the Chinese army, who they were fighting with against the Japanese in Burma... a magnificent banquet not to be forgotten. We would go to better Chinese in Los Angeles. I recall a famous place we went to in San Francisco, too.

50+ years ago I bought a little Chinese cookbook that I still have. I think I made the majority of the recipes in it. I'd go to a local supermarket in L.A. that catered to Asians considerably and buy my ingredients and make the recipes at my one bedroom apartment, being very careful of accuracy.

Edit: I imagine I can find candied wintermelon without difficulty when I visit Oakland's Chinatown area (my favorite neighborhood, period!!!!).

I think I get 75%+ of my H2O from (organic) coffee, most of the rest from the food I eat. The only thing I put in my coffee is nonfat milk.
