| 1. Pour the stock into a large stock pan. | 2. Add the Opo Squash and cook over medium-high heat until the squash becomes soft and translucent. | 3. The squash may not become translucent if it's cut too thick. Just look for it to soften up. | 4. While the squash cooks put the shrimp, green onions, and cilantro into a mixing bowl. | 5. Mix and sort of blend the flavors together with a fork. | 6. Do not turn this into a mushy paste. The idea is to combine the flavors together. | 7. Season the shrimp mixture with the pepper, half of the fish sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Mix well. | 8. Once the squash is translucent, Turn the heat to high and Bring to a boil. | 9. Add the sliced onions. | 10. Add the shrimp mixture to the soup in spoonfuls, this sort of makes dumplings. | 11. Cover and cook until the shrimp "dumplings" are cooked. | 12. After the dumplings cook, remove from heat and add the rest of the fish sauce. | 13. Stir to mix in the flavors. | 14. Garnish with the additional cilantro and green onions. | 15. Let the soup stand for 15 minutes before serving. | 16. Serve over rice and/or Kho recipes (stews). | 17. To simplify the recipe: | 18. Skip mixing the shrimp all together with the seasonings. Dice the shrimp up and mix all the seasonings in the soup at the same time as the dumplings. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
