Categories     side dish

Time 15m

Yield Serves 6 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
2 medium fuzzy melons, peeled, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/8 inch thick (6 cups)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Salt and ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 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 1/4 cup water and sauté, stirring occasionally, until it evaporates. Repeat this process, adding water in 1/4-cup increments, until the melon is tender, 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.
