Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut off both ends of the patola and discard. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the skin. Slice the peeled gourd crosswise into about ¼-inch thick.
  2. In a wide pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and garlic and cook until softened.
  3. Add pork and cook, breaking apart with the back of a spoon, until lightly browned.
  4. Add fish sauce and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Add water and bring to a boil, skimming any scum that may float on top.
  6. Lower heat and cook for about 10 minutes or until pork is tender.
  7. Add patola and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until tender yet crisp.
  8. Add miswa noodles and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes or until softened.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

  • The best way of peeling patola is using a vegetable peeler, as it peels the skin thinly without shaving off a lot of the flesh.
