Sautéed Hairy Melon, Pinoy Upo Style
Sautéed Hairy Melon, Pinoy Upo Style. I got intrigue by the constant presence of the hairy melon on the vegetable section of Woolworths Supermarket. It has been some time since the last time I had Upo. I learned from the Ilocano readers of Ilokano Food of FaceBook (check out the site for authentic Ilocano food that are being posted by the members) that zucchini are being used as substitute for upo.

Then I thought hairy melon can also be used as substitute. I was not sure if it work but the resultant dish was great. It is comparable with the Pinoy upo. Here is the recipe of my sautéed hairy melon, Pinoy upo style, try it.

Ingredients:

1 medium size hairy melon, peeled, sliced
200 grams pork, boiled, cut into short strips
250 grams small size shrimp, shelled
1/4 head garlic, chopped
1 medium size onion, chopped
2 medium size tomato, chopped
1/4 cup fish sauce
vegetable oil
salt
