Burnt Wild Bitter Melon

Overview

I bought these wild bitter melons when I was on the street. I haven't eaten wild bitter melons for a long time and I miss the taste of sweetness after bitterness. Wild bitter melons are more bitter than ordinary bitter melons, but there will be a faint sweet aftertaste in your mouth after eating them. The ethnic minorities here like to cook wild bitter melons in the fire and then eat them with sauces for a unique flavor. Although the bitter melons are bitter, they are nostalgic, just like a person's life. Eating more wild bitter melon can promote appetite, detoxify and dispel cold. There are no charcoal grilled wild bitter gourds at home in the city, so I roast them on an electric stove and eat them with some sauce and condiments, which makes me eat an extra bowl of food.
