The story behind this recipe
I received a snake gourd for the first time, and it really looked like a snake, which was a bit creepy. However, it was a soft and refreshing gourd.

Steps

1

Here are the ingredients. This time, it's snake gourd. The snake gourd was about 32 inches long.
2

Peel the snake gourd cleanly and push out the seeds with chopsticks. The area around the seeds is soft, so it becomes hollow easily.
3

Slice the snake gourd into rings, cut the shiso leaves into thin strips, and slice the red chili pepper into rings and chop finely.
4

Put the sauce ingredients marked with ☆ into a plastic bag and mix well.
5

Add the gourd, shiso leaves, and red chili pepper from step 3. Remove the air, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
6

It's ready. It tastes better chilled.
