1Prepare the Bitter Melon
Wash the bitter melon, cut it in half, and scoop out all the seeds and white pith thoroughly. (Tip: Removing the pith well reduces the bitterness 🍃)
2Slice into Thin Pieces
Slice the prepared bitter melon into thin pieces, about 3-4mm thick. (Tip: Uniform slices ensure even cooking 👌)
3Salt and Soak
Toss the slices with 1 tbsp of salt and marinate for 10 mins. Then, soak in water for another 10 mins and rinse. (Tip: This two-step process effectively removes bitterness 💧)
4Squeeze Dry
Firmly squeeze out all the water from the bitter melon slices, or pat them very dry with a paper towel. (Tip: Dry slices will fry up crisp, not soggy 🔥)
5Stir-fry the Melon
Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Stir-fry the bitter melon for about 2 minutes until slightly softened. (Tip: Use medium heat to avoid burning ⏱️)
6Add Egg and Stir
Pour in the seasoned egg mixture. Reduce to low heat and scramble quickly until the eggs are just set and combined. (Tip: Scramble while semi-set for tender eggs 🌟)
