Marinate Winter Melon

Wash the winter melon, peel it, cut into 1.5 cm thick chunks, rub with 10 g of salt, let sit for a few minutes, then drain off the excess water. Mix the winter melon chunks evenly with cooking wine, minced scallion, minced ginger, remaining salt, and MSG.

Prepare Coating Flour

Put dry flour into a basin, add the seasoned winter melon chunks, mix until all chunks are evenly coated with flour. Crack the eggs into another bowl, beat evenly and set aside.
