4. Meanwhile, mix the water with starch in a small bowl.

5. Add in the gourd and stirfry over medium heat, covering the pan to let the gourd steam and soften, stirring occasionally.

6. After about 3-4 minutes, when the gourd has softened and released some liquids, pour in the beaten eggs and cover for just 1/2 minute.
