How to cook this Japanese/Korean vegetable?

[sarahtorres]

I live in Korea and found a new vegetable! Its name in Korean is nogak (노각) and in Japanese its ナツツバキ natsutsubak . The only English name I can get is yellowish overripe cucumber. It is just shorter than my arm, about as wide, and orangish-brown. It seems cucumber-like. Other than just treating it like a cucumber, does anyone know how it is usually prepared? Google is not turning up much. Thanks!

Don't cook them.

Best eaten raw.

Sounds like a lemon cucumber (thanks Chopped!).

I did find this reference : http://farmsco.co.kr/ytboard/view.php...

But no recipes.

Those lemon cucumbers look lovely, but I do not have any of those sadly. I have the one shown on the farmsco link. Thanks for finding a picture!
