SPICY SAUTéED FUZZY MELON
Resembling a mottled green zucchini with sparse, bristly hair, fuzzy melon is a type of gourd popular in Chinese cooking. Often stuffed with ground pork, it absorbs flavors easily and also shines in simpler recipes, like this one from Joanne Chang of Flour Bakery in Boston.

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.
