Sponge Gourd

Sponge Gourd


This vegetable goes by a few different names. Some call it Angled Luffa , at the asian groceries here it is called Sponge Gourd and today I found out that it is also called Chinese Okra because of its resemblance to Okra (note, they are not related at all)


Sponge Gourd is low in calories  as well as rich in pro-vitamin A , Vitamin C and Beta-Carotene which is essential for healthy skin, tissue, and eyesight.


 How do you prepare Sponge Gourd dishes?


Here are few dishes that I knew of



Stir fried Sponge Gourd with dried and fresh prawn
Sponge Gourd with Clams soup
Stir fried Sponge Gourd with egg
Stir fried Sponge Gour with vermicelli noodles
