Thanks for sharing this recipe and tips for preparing the dish. When I saw the picture and topic, I was thinking this is really like the dish we usually have at home, and then it's from you, that's why! :D
My mom taught me to use salt to "wash" the bitter gourd in order to reduce the bitterness as well, but my husband and I like the bitter taste, so I don't do that. So it becomes much easier for me to prepare this dish. My two young children do not like this at all. Perhaps they might like it when they grow older. I didn't like to eat bitter gourd at all when I was young too, I started to eat because of it's good for health and my husband likes it, and now I just like it very much!
Thank you for sharing the rest of the recipes here as well. I am going to check them out soon. I am not a good cook, but just always cook some simple dishes at home. :)
Interesting...wonder whether dandelion roots and/or old greens would add enough bitter flavor to make this recipe work with zucchini?
I like the way my mother cooked bitter gourd. I haven't asked about the secret how it tastes less bitter. I am going to share this recipe to her. Thanks for sharing it.
My mom cooks this vegetable a lot. When I was in grade school, she prepares sautéd bitter gourd with egg and I love it! After slicing the bitter gourd, she will mix it with salt and squeeze it to lessen the bitter taste. You should prepare this dish to your kids because its nutritious unlike frozen products that contains some chemicals that are bad to their health or worse, cancerous products.
