Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over high heat until smoking. Add the garlic, ginger and melon and sauté for 2 minutes, until the melon has absorbed the oil. Add ¼ cup water and sauté, stirring occasionally, until it evaporates. Repeat this process, adding water in ¼-cup increments, until the melon is tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, vinegar and red-pepper flakes and sauté for another minute. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

Typos in this recipe. It must be 1/8-inch thick slices, and water in 1/4-cup increments.
Just got a fuzzy melon from the Hmong farm at my local farmers' market.
Delicious! We used this as a topping on poke bowls and the flavors went perfectly. Thanks for helping me figure out what to do with my adorable fuzzy squash!
