Suixi Sauce-Packed Melon

Suixi Sauce-Packed Melon

　　　The Suixi Sauce-Packed Melon was first created during the Tongzhi era of the Qing Dynasty, boasting a production history of over 120 years.

　　This fragrant and delicious melon is filled with a variety of finely chopped vegetables, offering a rich medley of sweet, salty, sour, spicy, and aromatic flavors. It has a strong savory aroma, a crisp and tender texture, and a uniquely delightful taste. The Suixi Sauce-Packed Melon is made with carefully selected ingredients and crafted with precision, resulting in a distinctive flavor. Yuan Chang Zhai Sauce Products Factory uses locally grown high-quality melons as its raw material. These melons are drum-shaped, with a greenish-yellow hue, plump and glossy, and each must weigh between 500 and 750 grams. They are processed immediately after harvesting to ensure freshness and tenderness, never being left overnight. During production, the stem end of the melon is cut off in a round cap shape, and the flesh is scooped out. Then, through processes such as initial salting, sun-drying, and sauce curing, the melon shell turns an amber color. Next, high-quality ingredients such as almonds, peanuts, cucumbers, snake gourds, green beans, mustard greens, kohlrabi, ginger, deer horn vegetable, and dried tangerine peel are selected, sauce-cured, chopped, and used as filling, which is then stuffed into the cured melon shells. Finally, the previously removed round melon cap is placed back on top, and the melon is tied into its original fresh shape to become the finished product.
