Ridge Gourd, known as Oyong, is a long green gourd characterized by the sharp ridges that run along its length. The skin is peeled away to reveal a tender, white flesh with a soft, spongy texture and a very mild, slightly sweet flavor. It cooks very quickly and is a favorite ingredient in clear vegetable soups (sayur bening) and simple stir-fries, where it soaks up the flavors of the broth beautifully. We supply young, tender gourds for the best texture.
