Skewered Melon Rind

Skewered Melon Rind

　　Skewered Melon Rind Introduction: Snack preparation: 1. Cut the cucumber into 2.5 cm long sections, then use a small knife to spiral-cut from the outside to the inside into thin strips, like ribbons, rolled up. Remove the seeded core. 2. Mix soy sauce, sugar, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, crushed pepper, whole dried red chili peppers, MSG, and cooking wine. Place the skewered melon rind into the seasoning mixture, constantly stirring with chopsticks so the rind absorbs the flavors completely. Marinate for about 60 minutes, then remove and arrange on a plate. First place in the center, then stack the rinds skin-side out, layer by layer, forming small buns. Pour the remaining seasoning mixture over the top. Snack characteristics: Skewered melon rind is extremely crispy, fully infused with flavors while retaining the melon’s aroma. Snack value: The edible part of the cucumber is the tender ovary; the fruit is glossy green or emerald green in color. Fresh cucumbers, still with their flowers and spines, are very appetizing, with crisp and sweet flesh.
