1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 medium cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
1 pound luffa gourds, peeled and roll-cut into 1-inch pieces (see note)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Fish sauce, to taste
White pepper, to taste

Heat oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add garlic and stir-fry until light brown and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add gourds and 2 teaspoons fish sauce to pan. Stir and cook until lightly softened, about 1 minute. Add eggs. Cook, stirring, until eggs are barely set, about 1 minute longer. Season to taste with more fish sauce if desired. Transfer to a plate and dust with white pepper. Serve with rice.
