Pickling Melon "Grine stripe" Asian Vegetable
Cucumis melo var conomom
As its name suggests, this family of melons is ideal for pickling, and that is the most common method of preparation in Asia. Considerably larger than Western cucumbers, young melons can be eaten raw or added to a salad as you would a cucumber. More typically, they can be baked stuffed with beef, pork, chicken or vegetables. Pickling melons also make a tasty vegetable in their own right alongside seafood or in a stir-fry.
Asian names for this vegetable...
- China: tsit kwa, uet kwa, bai gua, cai gua, yue gue
-
Japan: oshiro uri
- Green Striped
The rich, green and white striped fruits resemble large cucumbers and mature to 18" long. The flesh is white, very thick and has been used for kazu-zuke or nara-zuke—a pickling recipe over a
thousand years old.
