melon skin in oyster sauce
Melon peel is a specialty of Qinzhou. Now is the season when cucumbers are on the market. There are fresh melon rind all over the street, but you must be able to pick it. I usually pick the slightly sour, soft, and pressed flat (not so swollen) ones. This kind of melon rind will be crispy and super refreshing when fried.

    No need to add more salt, as the cucumber skins already contain salt from when they were prepared. If you like spicy food, you can stir-fry them with fresh chili peppers—it's super delicious. I didn't add any chilies because there are children at home.
