Gambas (Luffa acutangula) or often known as Oyong is one of the vegetables that is very easy to grow in the area where I live. In fact, my mother often plant gambas vegetable the garden not far from the house. Gambas itself has a relatively higher selling price compared to other types of green vegetables such as kale or spinach. Having a unique shape and texture that is different from vegetables usually makes this vegetable very much in demand. The jagged shape and texture of the crispy outside and soft inside make it very delicious. Especially with a naturally sweet taste when you process it into any dish at home.
If I had previously made soup made from Oyong, but this time, I will process it with something different, namely stir Oyong with sweet corn. This is a special recipe and my first time combining stir-fried squash with sweet corn. I'm very curious about the results on my plate later, so let's try to make it!
Prepare ingredients that are very easy for you to find, especially for the main ingredients. Here are the ingredients needed!
1 piece gambas
1 piece of sweet corn
1 red chili
4 green chilies
3 shallots
2 cloves of garlic
1 tomato
So for those of you who are processing gambas for the first time, choose a young gambas. Usually, the dominant young gambas vegetable are dark green in color and are relatively slimmer or smaller in size than the older ones. In addition, a clear feature can be seen in the jagged parts of the squash, usually the young ones have closer serrations on the body of the vegetable than the older ones.
Step 1
Clean the gambas, remove the jagged parts then cut the gambas round like I did.
Step 2
Also cut the sweet corn in the middle and cut it into several pieces, or you can peel it if you don't like cooking using cobs.
Step 3
Cut other complementary ingredients, tomatoes, chilies and onions.
Step 4
When finished, sauté the shallots and garlic until wilted.
Step 5
Add tomatoes and green chilies and sauté until wilted or half cooked.
Step 6
Add a little water, wait for it to boil, then pour in the sweet corn and cook for about 10 minutes.
Step 7
Once the corn starts to cook, add the chopped green onions.
Step 8
Add the vegetables and stir until evenly distributed.
Step 9
Wait until cooked, and add a teaspoon of salt. Correct the taste and make sure it suits your taste.
Stir-fried corn and gambas is ready to serve, serve on a plate and enjoy it when you have lunch or dinner with your family. This is the best vegan dish it is sweet, savory and very delicious.
Serve dishes from processed healthy vegetables for your family at home. They will surely be very happy to enjoy the combination of corn with local vegetables such as squash or oyong. Anyway, my friends, I'm very curious what is the name of this vegetable in your country? do you have something similar?.
