Bitter melon stuffed with meat

Overview

When it comes to bitter melon, many people will be repelled by its bitter taste. In fact, although bitter melon is bitter, the bitter taste will not penetrate into other ingredients when paired with other ingredients, so it is called a gentleman's dish. Moreover, the nutritional value of bitter melon is also very high. It has the effects of clearing heat and replenishing qi, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood lipids, anti-cancer, and beautifying the skin. Personally, I think bitter melon is the best match with meat, because the fresh aroma of the meat can make the bitter taste of bitter melon much calmer and not so direct. It also tastes light and refreshing, and my family likes it very much.
