Spicy Sautéed Mo Qua

Print recipe

Tips

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

Ingredients

  • 2 medium fuzzy melons (mo qua), peeled, halved lengthwise and sliced 18 inch thick (6 cups)
  • 1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and ground black pepper

Directions

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