Hairy Gourd na may Sotanghon at Tuyong Hipon ay ginisang gourd na may mabangong hipon at luya, pinakuluang sotanghon sa stock hanggang malasa.
Banlawan ang tuyong hipon. Ibabad sa ½ tasa tubig nang 10 minuto hanggang lumambot. Kung may itim na ugat sa likod, alisin gamit ang karayom; kung masyadong maliliit ang hipon, laktawan ito. Kapag lumambot na, salain ang hipon ngunit itago ang tubig na pinagbabaran para magamit mamaya.
Rinse the dried shrimp. Soak in ½ cup water for 10 minutes until softened. If you see a black vein on the back, pick it out with a needle; if the shrimp are too small, skip this step. Once softened, drain the shrimp but keep the soaking water for later use.
Ibabad ang sotanghon sa kaunting tubig hanggang lumambot lang. Huwag ibabad nang matagal dahil lulutuin pa ito mamaya at lalambot nang sobra kung masyadong malambot. Salain, pagkatapos gupitin sa dalawa o tatlong bahagi gamit ang gunting. Itapon ang tubig na pinagbabaran.
Soak the glass noodles in some water until just softened. Don't soak too long, as they will be cooked later and become mushy if too soft. Drain, then cut into two or three sections with scissors. Discard the soaking water.
Balatan ang hairy gourd, hiwain nang pahilis, pagkatapos hiwain sa manipis na piraso na mga 5 hanggang 6 cm (2 hanggang 2½ pulgada) ang haba. Itabi.
Peel the hairy gourd, slice on the diagonal, then cut into thin strips about 5 to 6 cm (2 to 2½ inches) long. Set aside.
Magpainit ng mantika sa kawali sa medium-high na apoy at igisa ang luya at tuyong hipon hanggang mabango. Idagdag ang hairy gourd at igisa hanggang mainit. Idagdag ang asin at asukal. Ibuhos ang chicken stock at ang tubig na pinagbabaran ng hipon. Takpan at lutuin hanggang lumambot ang hipon.
Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat and stir-fry the ginger and dried shrimp until fragrant. Add the hairy gourd and stir-fry until heated through. Add the salt and sugar. Pour in the chicken stock and the shrimp-soaking water. Cover and cook until the shrimp are tender.
Idagdag ang sotanghon at lutuin hanggang ganap na lumambot at masipsip ang sabaw; huwag hayaang matuyo nang husto ang sabaw. Wisikan ng sesame oil at haluin. Iplato at garnishan ng cilantro.
Add the glass noodles and cook until fully softened and the broth is absorbed; do not let the broth dry out completely. Drizzle with sesame oil and toss to combine. Plate up and garnish with coriander.
