Fresh bitter melon recipe

Many modern people spend their days in a hurry, have irregular meals and almost always eat out. So below I will first introduce the method of cooking the fresh bitter melon dish.

1. Wash and peel the pumpkin and cut into slices.

2. Put it in a high temperature resistant container, cover with plastic wrap, poke a few holes with a toothpick; put it in the microwave on high heat for 5 minutes.

3. Take out and use a spoon to mash the pumpkin into puree.

4. Add appropriate amount of white sugar and mix well. The pumpkin itself has a sweet taste, and adding white sugar will make it taste even sweeter and more delicious. If you don’t like it too sweet, you can omit it.

5. Wash the bitter gourd, cut it in half, and remove the pulp in the middle with chopsticks.

6. Bring water to a boil in a pot, put in the bitter gourd and blanch for 2 minutes (blanching the bitter gourd can remove some of the bitterness; it can also make the color of the bitter gourd more beautiful; it can also remove some oxalic acid, which can hinder the absorption of calcium in food).

7. After blanching, take out the bitter melon and put it into cold water. This will make the color of the bitter melon more beautiful and it will taste more refreshing.

8. Place one end of the bitter gourd in the palm of your hand, put pumpkin puree into the other end with a spoon, and then press the pumpkin puree with chopsticks.

9. Fill the bitter gourd with pumpkin puree until it is full, and then fill the remaining half of the bitter gourd with pumpkin puree as well.

10. Use a knife to cut the bitter gourd into even slices and enjoy. Try to cut it thicker, otherwise the pumpkin puree will separate from the bitter gourd.

It is not difficult to understand how to make refreshing bitter melon, but it is not very easy to make it well. This requires our own attention and diligent practice.
