This is so interesting. My childhood friend was asking me about Luffa. Her mom said it is known as Si Qua but my mom said it was Sing Qua, but I now found out they can be called both (lol). Luffa is also known as spongy vegetables. Wow, I am now wiser with the type of vegetables I take (lol).
Ingredients
1 angled luffa (Sing Qua or Si Luo Qua)-about 200 gms
4 prawns (est)
1/2 tbsp oyster sauce (or to taste)
1 tsp sugar (or to taste)
1 tbsp garlic, chopped
1 small egg
white pepper
Method
1. Cut the ridges off the luffa (or buy already peeled from the wet market-as what I did-Look at photo)
2. Cut the luffa into bite sizes.
3. Heat some oil in wok, add garlic and stir fry briefly.
4. Add luffa and prawns and cook, stirring about 1 minute. Add oyster sauce and sugar, stirring another 1 to 2 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. No need to add water, but if you want your luffa to cook faster, sprinkle some water.
5. Beat one small egg and add into luffa and fry briefly.
6. Sprinkle some white pepper and serve.
