Thai Spicy & Savory - Sweet Melons image

Mummmm, I tried this at my neighbors bbq. It was excellent. I begged for the recipe until she gave it up. It's so simple, I'm sharing it with all of you. Hope you will enjoy it as much as we do. Since it is almost impossible to find Thai Melons here, we substituted with sweet Honeydew Melons. Please note cooking time is...

I didn't have any fish sauce, so I used soy sauce instead. It still turned out great.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I found that the melons were a bit too soft for my liking. I think I would prefer to use a firmer melon next time.
