We have sweltering days (temperatures have been above 35C/95F )almost daily. On such a day, I recommend you to eat a watermelon. It is very good for your health! It helps to beat the summer heat! Sugar (fructose and glucose) of watermelon gives you a power to your tired body. Also, it purifies your body. It eliminates toxins from your body and has antioxidant properties!
However, what do you do with the watermelon rind?! Do you throw it away?! Then, I have a good recipe that goes good with white rice ;)
---------------------------------
Stir-Fried Watermelon Rind
Difficulty: Easy
Time: 20min
Number of servings: 2
Ingredients:
200g (0.44lb.) watermelon rind (white part only)
1 tsp. salt
100g (3.5oz.) thinly sliced pork
50g (1.8oz.) carrot
100g (3.5oz.) bean sprouts
6 Chinese chive
small piece (about 1/2 inch) of shoga (ginger root)
A
* 1/2 tbsp. honey
* 1/2 tbsp. sake
* 1 tbsp. soy sauce
cracked black pepper
1/2 tbsp. starch
1/2 tbsp. sesame oil
Directions:
1. Remove hard green rind and weigh the white part on a scale. You may leave a bit of red portion.
2. Cut the watermelon rind (1.) into short and thin strips. Sprinkle salt over the strips, let stand for 5 minutes until soft and watery, then squeeze out excess water.
3. Also, cut the pork and carrot into strips. Trim the bean sprouts at both ends if you prefer. Cut Chinese chive into 2 inches long. Cut shoga into thin strips.
4. Heat sesame oil in a frying pan, fry shoga until fragrant, add pork, carrot, bean sprouts, and watermelon rinds, and Chinese chive in order. Add A and stir-fry until the seasonings blend, turn off the heat, add starch with the same amount of water, heat again to thicken the sauce, then sprinkle cracked black pepper to finish.
My original recipe in Japanese is here.
