I had lots of snake gourd when I was still a child…they slowly vanished from the local markets, I miss those silky textured gourd.

My parents swear by gourd! I’ll show them this recipe, I’m sure they’d really like it!

Gourd recipe! Now you don’t see that very often! I don’t like rice, but would love to try these with some steamed buns, or even on top of oats with a runny egg!

I love gourd with steamed rice…

this is kugua, correct? bitter gourd? I don’t think I’ve tried it yet, but I heard that girls in China go on a bitter gourd diet…whenever they’re hungry, they take a bite of a raw bitter gourd and hey presto! they lose their appetite! Sounds insane to me!
Sorry, that was random! Haha, great dish though!
