Turai should have a silky texture and slightly sweet flavor when cooked if it turns out bitter it may be under- or overripe, or it might have sat out too long make sure to peel and chop it just before cooking. Some are quite large (see picture above), but I really just look for one that is mostly straight and looks fresh. If it is too firm, it may be slightly woody and will make a great exfoliator, but it won’t be too great for the taste buds. When choosing a turai, look for unblemished gourds with even coloring and a firm but slightly spongy texture between the ridges.

I haven’t learned how to make that and one of his amazing instant pot recipes chicken magic…yet. The recipe below is for the spongy zucchini-like inside of the vegetable, but my father-in-law also makes a fantastic chutney from the skin.

Sometimes my father-in-law will get some at the farmer’s market and make it when he knows I will be there for dinner :). Needless to say, I had never experienced this vegetable until I tasted it at my in-laws’ house, but it has become one of my favorite veggies. I’m much more interested in the edible version.
#CHINESE OKRA SKIN#
The seeds are then shaken out and voila! You have a skin scrubber! The plant is left on the vine until the skin turns yellow, allowed to dry completely, then peeled. Interestingly enough, it is also called luffa and is where we get the loofahs to use as kitchen sponges or to scrub ourselves smooth. I found that it was also called Chinese Okra when I watched an episode of Chopped, after which I felt mildly, and temporarily, superior because I knew how to cook it and none of the contestants had ever seen it before! When I saw some at my local farmer’s market, I asked one of the vendors and she called it sinqua (which means “silk gourd”). My in-laws call it turai, which is what I called it before I knew there was another name.
