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.

    Goya chips for the win! Thin slices, floured, and fried. They are so good that i cannot stop eating them

    @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!

How do you feel about nuclear power?

This week, the mayor of Niigata officially approved the restarting of a nuclear power plant in Kashiwazaki. My home country doesn't use nuclear power, so it makes me a bit uneasy. How do you feel about it? Would you be comfortable with a nuclear power plant operating in your prefecture?
