I know a lot of people detest bitter gourd but there are those who also love it. I am one of these people. Here are 2 recipes that my family have enjoyed and I would like to share.
Bitter Gourd Soup
Ingredients – Half bitter-gourd, 2 carrots and 300 grammes of pork ribs
Preparation (serves 4 – 6 persons):
- Cut the bitter gourd into horizontal slices of 5 cm each
- Cut the carrots also about 5 cm apart
- Wash the pork ribs and put into a big bowl
- Pour boiled water over it and immerse for about 2 minutes, then drain the water away
- Put the bitter gourd, carrot and pork ribs into the pot
- If using slow cooker, use 4 bowls of water (takes 2 – 3 hours on ‘high’ volume to cook)
- If using conventional method, use 6 bowls of water, first on high heat until water boils, then to low heat and simmer for at least 1 hour.
- Before serving, add salt to taste (usually half – one teaspoon will do)
Bitter Gourd Omelette
Ingredients – Half bitter-gourd, 3 eggs and onions/red chillies (optional)
Preparation (serves 4 – 6 persons):
- Slice bitter gourd diagonally and thinly
- Put the sliced bitter gourd into a pot with enough hot water to immerse it
- Add a pinch of salt and boil the bitter gourd for about 3 minutes (do not cover the pot)
- Drain the water and put the bitter gourd into a medium bowl
- If onions and chillies are desired, cut them thinly and put them with the bitter gourd
- Crack the 3 eggs into the medium bowl and bitter gourd and onions
- Add soya sauce (2 teaspoons) or salt (half teaspoon) and mix well before frying
