Hello, how are you? Bitter gourd is the main ingredient for today's dish, It has been a while since we last ate bitter gourd last time. I cooked sautéed tomatoes and egg, now I am going to add bitter gourd to it. I used to hate bitter gourd. I asked my mom, "Why do you like to eat this?" The only thing my mom answered was "Because it's healthy." Before, I used to be so picky with food, but now that you can add flavor to those vegetables, "not that bad" sometimes, when we always eat vegetables for a straight week, I always say to myself it is healthy LOL.
Ingredients and Prepping:
- Water
- Bitter Gourd
- Salt
- Cooking Oil
- Tomatoes
- Galic
- Red Onion
- Fish Sauce
- All-in-one Seasoning
- Ground Pepper
- Eggs
Let's Cook!
In a pan, I added water, enough to boil the bitter gourd.
When the water started to boil, I added the bitter gourd.
After that, I added about a teaspoon of salt.
I let the bitter gourd boil for about 5 minutes, and then after boiling, I remove it from the pan and rinse it with water to remove the saltiness from the salt and set it aside. This process is important if you want to reduce the bitterness of the bitter gourd, and an effective way to almost completely remove the bitterness is to add salt to the bitter gourd and then leave it for about 10-20 minutes.
In a hot pan, I added about 2 tablespoons of cooking oil.
Next, I added the chopped tomatoes.
Mix until the consistency of the tomatoes turns mushy and soft.
After that, I added the aromatics, garlic, and red onion, and cooked them until the aroma came out.
After that, I added the bitter gourd.
Mix it and let it cook until all the water from the bitter gourd from boiling evaporated or when you hear a frying sound.
Then I added 1 half teaspoon of fish sauce.
I added all-in-one seasoning, too, just a little.
Then I added a 3 pinch of ground pepper.
After that, I added the beaten eggs into the pan. And by the way, I added all-in-one seasoning to it, I added about a teaspoon.
Let it sit in the pan for 10 seconds, and after that, mix it until the egg is well-cooked. I like it without moisture in it, so I cook it well.
Plated and served, perfect to eat while it's still hot :D
Happy Eating!
