Today, we are going to make something special - bitter melon. Have you ever wondered what it is and how to cook it when you see it at the Asian grocery stores? So, I am going to share the easiest recipe that you can cook it - Stir Fry Bitter Melon With Garlic (蒜蓉炒苦瓜)
INGREDIENTS
500 grams of bitter melon
1 tsp of salt to reduce the bitter taste
6-8 pieces of dried red chilies
3-4 pieces of fresh red chilies
3 cloves of garlic
1-2 tbsp of cooking oil
1 tsp of Sichuan peppercorn (Amazon Link - geni.us/tkfqpg)
Salt to taste (I used 3/4 tsp)
INSTRUCTIONS
Cut the bitter melon in half, then quarter it. Remove the white spongy inside part. You can use a rounded teaspoon to scrape the last bits of the white part.
Cut it with a 45-degree angle into 1/3 of an inch thick slices. Season it with 1 tsp of salt. Rub for a few minutes. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
Cut some red, dried chilies open and remove the seeds.
Roughly dice some fresh red chilies
Press 5 cloves of garlic through a garlic presser.
Optionally, prepare 1 tsp of Sichuan peppercorns.
Now go back and check out the bitter melon. Squeeze out as much moisture as you can.
Rinse the bitter melon with cold running water several times. Drain it but doesn’t need to be thorough. A little bit of excess water will make sure the garlic doesn’t burn as fast when stir-frying.
Add 1-2 tbsp of oil to the wok along with the Sichuan peppercorns. Turn the heat to low. As the temperature climbs up slowly, the oil will be seasoned with the peppercorn flavor.
Once you see the color of the peppercorns is getting dark, you can take them out and discard them. Turn the heat to medium. Add in the bitter melon, dried chili, fresh chili, and garlic. Stir for a couple of minutes.
Give it a taste and then add the salt to adjust the flavor. Be generous with the salt amount especially if you have never tried bitter melon before because the salt will suppress a little bit of the bitter taste. Give it a final stir and you are done.

I am originally from Suriname in South America. We stuff the soporopo with seasoned beef, chicken or fish and than stew it in a gravy. Or I like to stir fry it with dried shrimp or smoked fish with lots of garlic an a touch of sugar and hot sauce or sambal. It is one of my favourite vegetable dishes. With jasmine rice. And it is very good for you. Greetings from the Netherlands

My family, Hakka, came from Canton City in China more than a hundred years ago and ended up in Jamaica. We never squeezed the juice or cooked bitter melon (foogah) alone. It was always with pork. And yes, as a child I hated it, but as I got older I started to appreciate the bitter taste. I still oftentimes cook it with pork as pork has a characteristic sweetness, and really enjoy. In Jamaica, there is a native kind called cerasee. It's much smaller and not eaten. But I used to suck on the ripe red seeds. Thanks bunches.

That’s actually true of some bitter foods like kola nut and orogbo which are eaten in Nigeria and otherAfrican countries. The more you chew it leans into sweetness. Salted umeboshi plums are kind of the same. When you’re ill, they don’t taste salty.

I also make salad out of it. After slicing the bitter melon, I squeeze lemon or calamansi a filipino citrus. This draws out the bitter juices. I then add, onion, ginger, garlic and tomatoes, to the sliced bitter melon and salt pepper to taste. This is a good side dish for fried meats like fish and pork.

Bitter melon is a traditional dish for Type 2 Diabetics (it works to lower blood glucose levels) . As a T2D - I cook/eat Bitter Melon on a regular basis. Rinsing the bitter melon with water or blanching it for a short time .e.g. 20 seconds will reduce the level of bitterness. For flavoring u can also add shave beef or chicken to it but garlic and hot chillies would be the most affordable way to season bitter melon... Adding the garlic and hot chillies will reduce the bitterness too. Bitter Melon is also the perfect home garden plant with almost no natural pest/enemies ...being too bitter to eat ...insects, birds, and other small mammals avoid eating or attacking it.

@jmcargonaut8368 Год назад

So…as a total white guy, I made the dish tonight as I love Asian cuisine and wanted to try it having seen it many times in the markets. You do a great job of showing how to cook it and it made me really want to try it. Also love your accent. The only variation to this recipe was in using chopped Jalapeños instead of the fresh red or smoked chilis which I forgot to buy. Otherwise, the garlic, peppercorns, washing, salting, removing white parts, and chopping etc were identical. Note that I am VERY adventurous with foods (all my life) and love organ meats, fermented fish dishes, you name it. After tasting it, I was able to finish about half of what I took to try. Respectfully, bitter melon is firmly over the line of “acquired taste”. However for me, it was just on the margin of the next line which is “eat this or die of starvation”. 😊 The bitterness is quite impressive (and lingering) on the tongue although it does start with a slightly sweet vegetable note. Regardless, a belated thank you for posting this! Eat on!

@MTMF.london Год назад

Actually there are more than one kind of bitter melon. Some of them are much more bitter than others. Basic rule is that the bigger the bumps on the melon are, the more bitter it will taste - watch out for those with bumps that look like stalagmites.

@humera121 3 года назад

No you're not weird, me too. I love bitter melon. But the variety you used is not as bitter as the one grown in India. They are very small size with sharp ridges and they are extremely bitter. My mum used to use the same technique of salt that you did. But my mom never removed the white part or the seeds unless the seeds were very hard. So I do the same. In fact the one you used, I never soak it in salt as it's mild in bitterness, at least for me. Here is a quick Indian style recipe of my mom but you can use the variety that you used in this video ( no need to salt it or to remove any parts): Add into a wok some oil, heat it then add thickly sliced melon along with its white and soft seeds, add potatoe cut in wedges, add onion cut in wedges. Sprinkle salt, red pepper flakes, chilli powder and turmeric powder ( all according to your taste, I add more chilli flakes because I liked it spicy and it masks the bitterness. However, I've done another addition to it: I sprinkle a little of msg powder or chicken stalk powder ( if using stock powder be careful with the salt) and it just perks up the taste. Flip it upside down using flat spatula, never stir. Let it sit with half covered lid on med heat for few minutes. Flip again. Cook like this until you see every vegetable is getting crispier to some degree. Adjust taste and you're done. Serve it alone with white rice. (You can add ground meat to this dish too). This recipe is really good you'll love it if you like Indian style foods. My gift to you.

My family is from Canton City, China but they emigrated & settled in Jamaica. We used to cook bitter melon frequently. But it was always with pork, as pork has a sweet taste due to the inherent fatty acids & glycerol. At times the inner seeds would be removed & the whole ones would be cut into tubes & filled with spicy marinated mince pork & steamed. But occasionally it would be cooked & accompanied with canned sardines in oil. Always was delicious!?

I used to work for a homeless shelter that ran a large soup kitchen, serving hundreds of meals, and we relied on a lot of donated food to supply us. We got in two large boxes of them, but I didn't see "bitter melon" right away, figuring it was something akin to a squash or cucumber. I had tried everything I could think of to make it less bitter: salting, soaking, roasting, but I couldn't get it to a point where it would've been enjoyable for guests. Now I know to remove the white part. If I ever manage to get back to my local Asian market I might give this one a shot.
