Chanpuru is a popular Okinawan dish and means, roughly, “something mixed.” Goya is a bitter fruit, and looks very weird, but it is very tasty with this tofu, egg, and pork stir-fry. Okinawa food is very different from regular Japanese cuisine. You can find many new and adventurous dishes at an Okinawa restaurant.
