Fried Bitter Gourd With Eggs



Cut the bitter gourd in thin slices, marinate with some salts & leave it in the fridge for an hour or overnight(as I just did bcos I bought a large bitter gourd, cleanse & cored and used half to cook with spareribs for dinner last night, keeping the other half for this dish today.) When ready to cook, just wash the salt away & squeeze out all the liquid(that way, the bitter gourd will remain crunchy & nice even after frying). This is ready to mix with the eggs.



Fried bitter gourd with eggs.

I used to be afraid of eating bitter gourd. Right, from its name 'bitter' gourd, it sure tasted bitter. Its after I read from cooking books and learn to prepare this dish that I started to enjoy eating it.

Ingredients:

Half a large bitter gourd (prepared as shown in the first pic)
3 eggs beaten
Pinch of salt
A dash of fish sauce
3tbsp of Corn starch

Method:

Mix all ingredient in a large mixing bowl. Heat up the wok and add in 2tbsp of oil. Fry the eggs in small portion and under medium flame so that the bitter gourd gets cook evenly & the eggs don't get burn too easily. Don't be too impatient to turn the eggs or it won't turn out nice and crispy.

Enjoy!
