Water Gourd Steam Soup

A colleague gave us one piece of gourd (found in the internet that it is known as water gourd or dried gourd or long gourd, chinese called it wu lou) which I was not sure what to do with it... and since he proposed that I make steam soup with it, I tried it out today....

Cut the top away, scooped the content out and add in part of the content back (cut to cube), 2 pieces of pork rib, 2 pieces of carrot cube, one dried scallop, 1 sweet date and a handful of wolfberry. No salt is added...

Steam double boil style for 1hr at low fire... yummmy.
