    What's the story

    Winter melon (aka ash gourd) is your secret weapon for light, vegan dishes that will "refresh" you.

    Its subtle taste and naturally cooling effect make it the perfect star for tons of recipes.

    We've got 5 crazy-good ways to use winter melon in this article, from soothing soups to surprisingly yummy desserts.

    Soup

    Refreshing winter melon soup

    A classic way to enjoy winter melon is in a light and refreshing soup.

    Simply simmer chunks of winter melon with slices of ginger and vegetable broth until tender.

    For an extra flavor boost, add some chopped scallions and a pinch of salt before serving.

    This soup is not only delicious but also hydrating during hot weather.

    Fries

    If you're looking for a healthier alternative to traditional fries, give these crispy winter melon fries a try!

    Simply cut the winter melon into thin strips, toss them in a mixture of cornstarch and your favorite spices, then bake or air-fry until they're golden brown and delicious.

    Pair these crispy delights with spicy vegan mayo or sweet chili sauce for the perfect dipping experience.

    Curry

    Winter melon is the perfect ingredient for vegan curries.

    Simply saute onions, garlic, and ginger in coconut oil until fragrant.

    Add diced tomatoes, coconut milk, curry powder, and cubed winter melon to the pot.

    Simmer until the winter melon is tender but still holds its shape.

    Serve this comforting curry over steamed rice for a satisfying meal.

    Tea

    Sweet winter melon tea

    Winter melon also makes a deliciously refreshing tea that's perfect for hot summer days.

    Just boil chunks of winter melon with water and sugar until they turn translucent and the liquid becomes syrupy.

    Strain and chill in the fridge, then serve over ice with a squeeze of lemon juice for extra zing.

    Sorbet

    Just blend cooked winter melon with lemon juice and sugar until smooth.

    Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer's instructions.

    If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a container and freeze until solid. Scoop into bowls or cones when ready to serve.
