I did suggest 8-10 and said littlenecks are similar.

I don't think that matters too much. I have suggested that ingredients are best sourced in Chinese supermarkets (although Indian markets are good for bitter melon).

That's odd. The two American friends I consulted here both used it. One is from New York; the other California.
I have clarified the mustard green type and also noted that I mean fresh chiles. Thank you.
