Muop (Vietnamese Loofah/Luffa)
Muop (Vietnamese loofah) squash on a trellis in my youngest uncle's garden. Yes, this is the same loofah in which I showed you how to make a loofah sponge so you can scrub with it in the shower. It's also edible. My recipe for muop tom xao (Vietnamese loofah and shrimp stir-fry).
A close-up.

Oh, this brings back memories.... My aunt had a huge Loofah vine in the backyard. I remember playing with the dry ones as a child and just shaking all the seeds out of it.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you could eat these. I'll have to look for them next time I'm at the asian market.
ReplyDeleteAnnie,
ReplyDeleteThat's what I did to make a loofah sponge.
