Place broth, 2 cans water, chicken breast, lotus seeds, ham, & bamboo shoots into melon. Pour 3 inches boiling water into bottom of deep kettle large enough to hold the melon. Place a kitchen towel in bottom of kettle, place bowl on it, bring up the 4 corners over melon. When done, you just lift out bowl with melon by the corners of the towel.
