International Produce

Spicy Sautéed Mo Qua

About the Recipe

Ingredients

Flavor is similar to a cucumber.
Mo Qua pairs especially well with strong-tasting dishes such as oyster sauces.

Directions

Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over high heat until smoking.
Add the garlic, ginger, and melon and sauté for 2 minutes, until the melon has absorbed the oil.
Add ¼ cup of water and sauté, stirring occasionally, until water evaporates.
Repeat this process, adding water in ¼-cup increments, until the melon is tender, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Stir in the soy sauce, vinegar, and red pepper flakes and sauté for another minute.
Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
