GOYA-chan (^ v ^)v

GOYA, better gourd is a one of summer vegitable. Chicken tasted sweet sauce makes this vegitable less bitter and delicious.
**Ingredients: 1 Goya(bitter gourd), chicken 200g (ground pourtly), panko, soy sauce, brown sugar, egg and salad oil.

Slice GOYA in rounds, and scoop seeds and white bitter part with spoon. During soak them into salty water to get rid of harshness, ground chicken well.

Mix with ground chicken, panko and 1 egg well. Drain GOYA and put a tbls of chicken bowl onto GOYA one by one.

Heat salad oil in a pan and put and bake them well. In the mean time, make sweet soy sauce, sugar and mirin(sweet sake). Heat them in a pan until soft and sticky. Serve GOYA pate into a plate and sauce them before eat.

GOYA is well known as a traditional vegitable of Okinawa. I love such a unique bitter flavor. Contains Vitamin C a lot, and wont be lost by heat, so good combination to cook with protein foods such as egg or chicken.
