A popular choice among home gardeners and cooks who enjoy growing specialty Asian vegetables, it produces uniform, attractive fruit on strong trellised vines across the warm season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tender young fruit is a staple in Asian cooking, used in stir-fries, soups, and stuffed dishes, and is typically harvested while still green and firm before it ripens.
