Recipes for goya besides chamburu?

I scored cheap goya this week and made Okinawan goya chamburu once already. Do you have a good recipe for other dishes that use goya?

    There are some interesting mentions if you search 'goya' on this site: goya tofu, goya chips, goya curry. I recently put prepared goya into some Japanese curry (at the end with the rou) and it was nice. There are 83 goya recipes on the ajinomoto recipe site - I like that you can search for specific seasonal ingredients. https://park.ajinomoto.co.jp/recipe/search/?search_word=%E3%82%B4%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A4

    I haven't tried it yet, but a while ago I bookmarked this curry: https://www.indianhealthyrecipes.com/bitter-gourd-curry-recipe-karela-sabzi/ Some of the ingredients are difficult to find here, though, but maybe some inspiration at least.

    @genkidesu Thanks! It's a bit of inspiration. My local import shop likely has all the South Asian seasonings. ...But they don't scoop out the stuff inside first? I'm a bit surprised at that.

    @JapanRamen Do you think air fryers would work for this, or do you have to fry them in oil in a pan/pot? I don't like oily frying smells in my house but it sounds tasty and I'd like to give it a try!

Summer reading

I know there have been questions in the past about what we're watching, but I'm wondering what you're reading at the moment! I'm looking to get a few new books for summer and I'd love to hear if you have any recent recommendations. If you have any good spots here to get EN language books in person, too, I'd appreciate if you would share those as well!

Condiments in your fridge?

Just for fun! I was thinking the other day how different the contents of my fridge are to the fridge I grew up with! Just one example, I always have soy sauce in my fridge and usually at least one other unopened bottle in the cupboard. There was never soy sauce in my fridge growing up. And the friends I grew up with don't have soy sauce in their fridges even now. But my Uni friends all have soy sauce in their fridges, because they all lived in Japan for at least a year. I was just wondering what things do you have in your fridge here that you probably wouldn't have in your fridge in your home country had you never lived here.

Moving house process

I've been in my apartment for nearly 7 years. I've got my eye on an apartment one station closer to work. But I forgot what it was like to move in here! It was all a bit traumatic... Have you got some packing tips, suggestions for how to move your household goods, and what to save for last?
