Cold Bitter Melon

Overview

Recently, the weather in the north has been dry and it is easy to get angry. I am a person who talks about bitterness. Last time I had breakfast outside, I was given a cold bitter melon as a gift. I went home and studied it, and now I share it with everyone. I love it but am afraid of suffering.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Cut a bitter melon diagonally.

   

2. 2 Cut in half, remove seeds and white flesh.

   

3. 3 You can use a metal spoon when digging out the white flesh. It won't be bitter once the white flesh is removed.

   

4. 4 Cut into thin slices along the diagonal angle just now.

   

5. 5 Bring water to a boil, add a small spoonful of salt, add bitter melon and blanch, remove after 50 seconds.

   

6. 6 Take it out and put it in ice water to cool down to keep the color. After cooling, squeeze out the water and serve on a plate.

   

7. 7 Prepare the sauce with an appropriate amount of minced garlic, one spoonful of light soy sauce, two spoons of rice vinegar, and half a spoonful of sesame oil. Mix evenly and pour it on the bitter melon.

   

8. 8 Cut the red pepper into small pieces and place it on top. (I forgot to buy it, so I used dried chili pepper instead.) Heat the pot. Heat a small spoonful of cooking oil and pour it on the pepper. Mix well when eating.
