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).

  1. 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.

  2. I had no idea you could eat these. I'll have to look for them next time I'm at the asian market.

    That's what I did to make a loofah sponge.

    No Recipes,
    They're very common so you should be able to find it.
