Okinawan Goya Champuru
"Goya is a gourd that is bitter by itself but the egg and spam reduce the bitterness and it WORKS!!! If you have seen it around but don't know what to do with it, try this. There are many healthy properties in the goya."

I love Goya Champuru. The recipe was great although I did make some changes. I do not enjoy spam so just used the bacon instead. I only used 4 eggs and they were way too many. When you make this recipe, and you should, use probably 2-3 eggs. It helps if you add them slowly.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Born and raised in Texas and couldn't miss the Mexican food more. I spent 5 years in California, at which time it traveled around the world but called Cali home. After first arriving there, I was hungry from the get go. I saw a place of interest on the taxi ride in called Weinerschnitzel. I was intrigued so the next day I ventured in. For less then 5 dollars I could get two chili cheese dogs with french fries and a coke (if you are from Texas you know that coke means soda, no matter what flavor). I flew around between Okinawa, Puerto Rico, Chicago, Alaska, Germany, Spain and the beautiful Kuwait. After the travel days, I settled down in Hawaii for 3 years. Now, I'm finally back to where I don't belong, Okinawa, and I couldn't be happier, thanks to having my beautiful family here. If it wasn't for them I don't know what I would do. Hope you enjoy the recipes. Mele Kalikimaka!!
