Preparation of bitter gourd
What to prepare
Bitter gourd, salt, kitchen knife, cutting board, spoon, bowlprocedure
Wash the bitter gourd, cut off both ends, and cut in half vertically.Use a spoon to remove the white cotton and seeds inside. By the way, I used to scrape cotton and cotton like my parents' souls, but in reality, cotton is not bitter, so it is not necessary. Cotton is also nutritious, so you can remove it by gently stroking it.
Cut according to the cooking method. When making stir-fried food such as bitter gourd champuru, it is about 5 mm. If you want to eat it raw as a salad, or if you want to boil it quickly and soak it in it, we recommend a slightly thinner 2-3 mm.
Put the cut bitter gourd in a bowl and sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of salt on each bitter gourd to lightly salt. This alleviates the strong bitterness.
Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes, and when it gets wet, rinse it off with water and squeeze it out. This completes the preparation! If you want to cook with the seasoning, you can squeeze only the water that comes out without washing.
In addition to salt, sprinkle some sugar and knead it to soften the bitterness. For those who want to leave a moderate bitterness, salt fir is enough!
