How to boil bitter melon Videos

i agree this is a veg for grown up, i used to hate to have this for lunch/dinner when i was at school, but now i love it. i think the one i had was of a different variety, it's light green and don't have the spikes on skin, but it's got curves around it, and it's much more juicy, so it's tastier ^^

did you peel out the skin of the bitter melon?

I can't get enough of your recipes. I've followed most of them and every recipes is good. Thank you for sharing, Chef. By the way, how do you make the chicken stock? :-)

I have not had the courage yet to eat Bitter Melon, but this meal looks good. My main reason for not eat Bitter Melon is because its taste, but I had learned that if you salt it first and wait for an hour. Next squeeze the juice out using a towel, it will remove most of the sourness.

Thank you for showing us how to cook this dish. I am sort of a newbie to cooking. How do you hollow out the bitter melon? Thx!

I got turned on to bitter melon at an early age working at my buddy's Chinese restaurant. Eventually I learned cooking as a passion/art. Great stuff, I have substituted white sugar with maple syrup(Vermont) and New Zealand honey. I would suggest chopping a quarter cup of green scallions and one egg for binding. 1/8 cup of corn starch will also keep all the ingredients together. Instead of black pepper I use Szechuan black pepper corns(crushed). Also, one clove of garlic chopped really brings out the flavor of the finished stuffed bitter melon. My better half is Jewish and I have turned her on to this unique and very flavorful dish - it is one of her favorites now !!

Don't throw the water of soaked mushrooms. Just sieve it and add it to you soup. It has lots of flavor

Bitter Melon is definitely as acquired taste. Usually, it's acquired when one is a child. However, I tried it as an adult and I found that I really like it. Except that it has to be cooked with black bean sauce! I like your recipe, but I didn't care for the deep frying. I think I'll probably boil the Bitter Melon and short ribs first before using your recipe. Thanks!

It t taste bitter but to most of us , it is an acquired taste to like it but most of all it is how one cook it. This particular recipe is one of the best method of cooking it. Bitter melon is known as the vegetable Insulin and it means a lot to all those diabetic in the world . might as well enjoy the vegetable and get the benefit. I for one can't eat salad everyday as much as I like it . variety is the key.
