Haiyaah! Where’s the baking soda for the beef and what about MSG?😂🎉🎉 Thanks for the tip definitely will give this a try & love everything about watermelon 🍉 😍
Hello Mandy!! Wow, can’t believe 6 years now. Still doing great and always beautiful. I needed my own Visa just to follow you. 😂 More of the best to you and don’t forget…👍sums up👍❤️
Girli isn’t just teaching us to cook delicious food, she’s teaching us to not waste good food. Champion, Queen, Goddess, thank you for all the great recipes and advice! You’re the best!
A lot of vegetables have volume but not much taste and in cooking often they can be given flavour of other ingredients and provide texture and are a kind of filler in the dish. This is perfect. I usé brocoli, spinach and any other vegetable stem this way for example, and it works really well. Never thought about using watermelon rind, it’s a really good idea:)
Right. If I’m doing a beef stir fry I add mushrooms (baby bellas) because it adds more volume since meat is expensive, and it tricks my family into thinking the dish is bigger than it actually is. The trick is to cut the beef and mushrooms the same size.
Perfect! I knew about pickled watermelon rinds which are delicious, but didn't think you could use them for stir fries, too.. Thanks for your inspiration!
In the neck of the woods I grew up in (central North Carolina, US), we made and loved watermelon rind pickles, so my mother and father had the same view for different reasons. I watched my "Grandmother" Wong stir fried rinds in a few of the vegetable dishes, but never saw her prep the rinds, so I never knew what this simple, crunchy "vegetable" was until a few years ago, when I was invited to try a dish my local Chinese takeout place was making for the crew and asked what it was. It was amazing and crunchy, while mild enough to show off the sauce. Highly recommend!
care to share a recipe of how to pickle the rinds if you happen to remember? Watermelons don't grow where I'm from, so I'd like to get a good use out of them
I literally grew up around the same area in NC and my grandma and mom use to do the same with watermelon rinds. Pickle them. I use to love it soooo much. She would also prepare them in dishes and I had no idea until later in life that it was watermelon rinds I was eating. 😅
Actually I never even knew that Watermelon rinds were edible until 2020 where I was reading the novel for Mo Dao Zu Shi and We Wuxian mentioned to Lan Wangji that they can eat watermelon rinds so I started searching in google and saw that it was indeed edible.
Love this and your orange peel snack!! It's a great day when I find out a way to use food that I'd never considered before. Food waste is a huge pet peeve of mine. Thank you!
Yes!!!!! I'm making this, this summer. Need a wok outside. At my folks, we're setting up an outdoor gas iron griddle kitchen/dining. I figure the large hot surface area will make great stir-fry, even noodles and small-batch goods like yakisoba with the hay and the heat of a wok... At least in time. Setting up a Zojirushi out there, I forsee many sweaty nights of Asian and Chinese. What summer or spring delights can Souped Up deliver this year? My recipe searches center around these two seasonal terms at the moment. For cooling effect/properties, good to eat cold, and compatible with preparing in advance or outside are the reasons! I just love the use of melon in stir-fries! I have not tried watermelon before but I'm all about it's use as a vegetable. Not picky here when food choices might happen, but just the opposite. My next culinary foray includes freshwater and marine collection and fishing. Will include seaweed, shellfish, all I can find which are edible. Got my crayfish net!
Love you & everything you do! I have your wok! The handle is very loose now! How can i purchase a new handle? Help me please! I don't want to throw away a good wok! PLEASE!
You got my interest. I reseached the nutritional value of watermelon rind and found this. This hard peel has low-calorie levels, but high amounts of vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B6, potassium and zinc. Watermelon rind is also rich in nutrients with chlorophyll, citrulline, lycopene, amino acids and flavonoids and phenolic compounds. Who knew?
I usually just juice up the rind(minus skin) with a good portion of the Watermelon to make watermelon juice that is "lower" sugar but doesn't taste watered down. Now I need to save it to stir fry 😂❤
Oh my!! I’m definitely going to try this bc I eat watermelon All the time! Uhh. No pickled chilies for me. Can I use a little pickle juice? It looks great Mandy. Thank you for this. Just before summer comes too!
I never would have thought to use watermelon rinds or even make dried fruit out of orange peels. I thought that the rinds of those fruits were completely inedible.
It depends what you mean by "chillies".... there is often a misunderstanding among North Americans. Indian cuisine is full of recipes showing you what you can do with chillies.
A friend from Shanghai said you can buy refreshing drinks made from watermelon rind in the summertime. He said they throw away the red part, then blend up the peeled rind with sugar and ice.
I really need to try this in summer =) Im vegan so this recipe with the beef is not for me, but yours may be a good alternative to not waste it anymore 😊

I love this! I want to try it with marinated Jack fruit.. or seitan but Jack fruit would be a fun way to bring more fruit into the savory dish😊

Broccoli stems have nutrients in them. I'm not sure about the nutrients in cooked watermelon rihne
this chick could literally tell me to add my firstborn child to the wok and i'd trust her
😂😂😂

I use the rinds to make preserves

1 cup apple cider vinegar (or white)
1 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon red pepper flake
The wok:body ratio when she lifts it up is hilarious 😂
She’s so beautiful ❤. I love her creativity in the kitchen.

Watermelon seeds are also edible and more nutrious than pumpkin seeds
My mom always told me that if you eat the white part of the watermelon it makes you smart lol
She makes everything look sooo delicious geez,
That is so cool and smart, sorry, she is so cool and smart and the food looks so tasty and she makes it look so easy. Keep up the good work Mindy 👍🏻

Mandy I love watermelon rind kimchi I know this is delicious too!

That's the best use of rinds I've seen in years ❤
Blessed are the hands who knows to cook good food
Wow, this is fantastic!! 💯
Someone once said: "the worst part of the watermelon tastes like the best part of the cucumber...".
You amaze me with the things you come up with to make.

LOVELY.....!!!! SO nice of you.....Thanks for sharing
That looks delicious. I’ve never heard of anyone eating the rinds before besides animals.
Wow bravo for not wasting the water melon rinse 😮 the world 🌎 is a better place 😊
I usually just juice up the rind(minus skin) with a good portion of the Watermelon to make watermelon juice that is "lower" sugar but doesn't taste watered down. Now I need to save it to stir fry 😂❤
Now this looks really good!!! I eat watermelon all the time and I’ve never seen anyone do this. Thank you for teaches us how to not be wasteful ❤️
Wangxian was summoned with this recipe.

Thank you dear Mandy! I will absolutely try this in spring/ summer ❤!
That is such a great idea!
Thanks for this!
This is very educative. I definan gonna try it. Thanks for the recipe 🙏🏼
I actually eat watermelon until the green skin. The white part has the best texture for me so I always eat it
I've always pickled them, never thought of a stir fry....
We stir fry the rind then add some water. No beef or other ingredients. Might wanna try this recipe. Thank you for sharing
Wow I'm enjoying your contents, will do some dishes I learn from u, thank u
I didn't know the rinds were edible. You learn something new every day.
Amazing show thank you for sharing Mandy. Have a great day

For a long time I thought only my family cook watermelon grinds as a main dish.😁 Nice recipe, I will try soon ❤
I love your channel
OMG! That looks SO awesome!
I never would have thought to use watermelon rinds or even make dried fruit out of orange peels. I thought that the rinds of those fruits were completely inedible.
Yum! Sounds good

And Mandy!! Look how your bangs grew out!! All finished now. Your hair is long!
Great channel! Pleased I found you 😊
You have the best recipes. I don't typically buy watermelon but I'm going to so I can make that recipe.
Always a great reminder that the peal can be delicious, we just need to know how to use it. Candied orange peel is delicious.
watermelon rinds are also delicious pickled!
Now that's something else.
Just wow I never knew watermelon rine was edible thank you.
Have you got a recipe for the pickled chillies? I would love to make some.
It depends what you mean by "chillies".... there is often a misunderstanding among North Americans. Indian cuisine is full of recipes showing you what you can do with chillies.
I use melon rinds to make soup, which include crab meat..
Close to winter melon soup.
Gave me an idea to add this with sushi!

I have had pickled watermelon rinds, which are very good. But, I never tried putting the rind in a cooked dish. I will have to try this!

I will never waste watermelon rinds again 🙏
That dish looks good ..
My mom used to make watermelon pickles ..

You're amazing 😮❤
It won’t all go to my compost pile now!
No "Hellooooooo everyonnnnnne!"? 😳
Ok. Thanks my wife would normally just peel it and eat it like cucumber. Lol
PLEASE STOP WASTING RINDS 💜✴️ THIS ONE IS SO TASTY 😋
I composed mine all winter..they literally go away in less than a week unless they freze
