Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Cut the bitter melon into diagonal pieces, wash and cut into pieces, add salt and stir evenly to get out the bitter water.

   

2. 2 If you are afraid of bitterness, you can blanch the bitter melon in boiling water and then pickle it with salt.

   

3. 3 Pour away the pickled bitter melon water, then put it in a seasoning bowl and add the apples cut into small pieces.

   

4. 4 Only take the pulp from lychees. Just cut each lychee in half. Don’t cut it too small as too much water will come out and affect the taste.

   

5. 5 Add crushed millet and pepper, sugar, light soy sauce, and oyster sauce in sequence and stir evenly.

   

6. 6 After stirring evenly, transfer to a crisper box, close the lid tightly, and place in the refrigerator to marinate.

   

7. 7 Bitter melon that has been blanched in boiling water can be eaten after being pickled for half an hour. If it is pickled raw, it needs to be pickled for a longer time, otherwise it will be very bitter. The picture was taken after three days of raw pickling. The bitter gourd has a fruity aroma in the mouth. Although it still has a bitter taste, it leaves a sweet taste in the mouth after eating.
