help with winter melon
Comments (7)I grew Doan Gua for the first time this season - a fuzzy/wax melon, which produced 11 fruits on only 2 plants, and it got started very late! The largest was 18+ lbs, and most were over 15 lbs. Had no squash bug/disease problems, stores well (I am storing one experimental one for over 7 weeks now - it keeps exuding more of that powdery wax, which is probably how it keeps so long), and the only problem is the fuzziness, which can give spliters unless I wear gloves. It cooks well in anything I have put it in, absorbing flavors and staying firm, even when cooked over 40 minutes. I have used it in Thai curries, salads, and soups, Chinese stir-fries, and even in a Mexican mole, with great results. I also made a zucchini bread with it, when I had a bunch leftover and was running out of things to do with it. The only problem is it's size - it is so big I have to use it for several days in a row!

Comments (3)I bough a quarter few days ago and made soup with pork neck bones, carrots, onions, ginger, turmeric root, lemon grass, tomatoes. The reason I bought it was that I had the impression that it is Shark fin melon. When cooked, I did not find pronounced strands in it. But the soup was good. Asian terminology sometimes can be confusing to us. What we call melon are sweet and eaten row. Asians call some squash and pumpkins "melon". Another one is bitter melon, which is a bitter squash/cucumber. Yet anothe one is called "fuzzy melon" which again is a squash to me....See MorePictures of winter squashes and Malabar Melons (Shark Fin Melons)

Comments (8)I realized it's in the soup recipes that Joe generously shared with all who asked. Just in case, I'm copying and pasting it here too! Joe's SAUSAGE AND PUMPKIN WINTER SOUP 2 C pumpkin (this is about one 15 oz canÂNOT pie filling!) 4 C chicken broth 1/2 C minced onion 1 C finely chopped mushrooms 1 C whole milk or cream (or 1/2 c half & half mixed w/1/2 C water) 1 clove garlic, minced 2 T each of finely chopped fresh parsley, oregano and basil 8 links of hot Italian sausage (or sweet if you prefer) 1/2 C shredded parmesan for topping salt/pepper if you think it needs it OPTION: skip the milk & substitute a can of diced tomatoes for one of the cans of broth, or used one can of broth and one can of water to moderate the saltiness of the soup. Brown sausage, drain the grease (if any) and then add the onion, garlic and herbs. Stir in the pumpkin and mix... Stir in the broth and mix well. Simmer 20-30 minutes. Stir in the milk and simmer on low another 10-15 min. Serve topped with shreds of parmesan....See MoreViolet_Z6
