Winter melon soup is said to help relieve water retention and prevent heatstroke. Not sure how true it is regarding the water retention. But after drinking the soup, I do find myself making trips to the restroom more often than I usually would.

0g of spare ribs
800g of winter melon (with skin, seeds and pulp removed. cut into chunks)

Add winter melon, scallops and parboiled spareribs into 800ml of water.
