Okay I cooked with winter melon for the first time ever. This is a little like saying "I cooked with corn for the first time ever." It is a lot easier to cook with than getting giant chunks of melon suggests, and came out great!
@Kensan_Oni I, apparently, thought winter melon would be the same size as bitter melon or opo squash. I wasn't prepared for going to Asian Family Market, and the only winter melon you can get are in these huge HUGE chunks.
