Prepare the chicken feet by cleaning and trimming nails.

Soak dried shiitake mushrooms in warm water until softened, then slice.

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add ginger and garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Add chicken feet to the pot and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly browned.

Pour in chicken broth and water, then bring to a boil.

Add winter melon and goji berries, reduce heat, and simmer for 30-40 minutes until melon is tender.

Season with soy sauce, salt, and white pepper to taste.

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then stir into the soup to thicken slightly.

Garnish with chopped scallions and drizzle with sesame oil just before serving.
