Years ago, I cooked and enjoyed a hairy melon dish stuffed with pork, following a recipe from a Chinese friend. It was similar to this one for Steamed Hairy Gourd Stuffed with Minced Pork and should adapt well to the IP.
Edited to add that my friend's recipe used a mixture of pork and shrimp to stuff the melon and she used the same mixture on green bell pepper squares (I know, I know) and steamed them.
Or, give it to Kerry to turn into a baked good for her rounds: Hairy Gourd Bread
