Stir-fried Bitter Gourd with Chili Pepper
Overview
Bitter melon is a seasonal vegetable in summer. It contains fat-clearing protein. Eating it raw has the effect of losing weight, but you need to eat 2 to 3 pieces raw every day to be effective. If eaten cooked, blanched in boiling water or cooked in hot oil, the bitterness will be reduced and the taste will be acceptable to most people, but some of the nutrients in bitter melon will be lost. Bitter melon is cold in nature and bitter in taste, and enters the heart, lungs, and stomach. It has the functions of clearing away heat and quenching thirst, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood lipids, beautifying the skin, and promoting metabolism. Bitter melon is rich in vitamin B1, vitamin C and minerals. Long-term consumption can keep energy high and is of great benefit in treating acne. Not many people can accept eating raw bitter melon. It is indeed very bitter. I have tried eating raw bitter melon in a cold dish. I personally think that bitter melon and chili go well together. The spiciness of chili can cover up the bitter taste of bitter melon. Adding some crushed garlic makes it taste spicy and slightly bitter, which goes well with rice. The key is to lose weight. We who love beauty, as soon as we hear words like weight loss and beauty, our interest will increase greatly, right? ! Haha~~For the sake of beauty, I put a few small tomatoes in and fried them. The bright red color is particularly eye-catching. The combination of red and green makes the color beautiful and the nutrition is richer.
