Goya Chanpuru

It’s autumn in Japan, but I harvested goya (bitter melon) from my parents’ garden, so I made goya chanpuru for the last time this year. Goya is a vegetable you can harvest in the summer, so it’s one of the things I enjoy during that season, but it’s a vegetable with a strong bitterness, so there are quite a few people who don’t like it. Goya chanpuru is a home-style dish from Okinawa prefecture.
