Bitter Melon 1kg

Also known as Bitter Gourd

Why you’ll love it

A staple across Chinese and Southeast Asian kitchens, bitter melon has a uniquely refreshing bitterness that turns mellow and savoury when cooked. It’s fantastic in quick stir‑fries, soups, and homestyle stuffed dishes.

High in fiber with a crisp bite, it soaks up aromatics like garlic and ginger beautifully and balances rich sauces and proteins.

How to enjoy

• Silky egg & garlic stir‑fry — Salt the slices briefly, rinse, then stir‑fry with minced garlic and beaten eggs for 1‑2 minutes until just set. Finish with a dash of light soy. Try with farm‑fresh eggs: Pace Farm Free Range Eggs.
• Wok‑seared beef & bitter melon — Marinate thin beef strips with soy, Shaoxing (optional), and white pepper, then sear hot with bitter melon, ginger, and onion. Glaze with a spoon of oyster sauce. Use tender slices like Angus Prime Beef Strip 500g.
• Clear‑broth tofu & enoki soup Broth‑based — Blanch bitter melon briefly, then simmer in a mild stock with tofu and enoki. Season lightly with salt/white pepper. Try Cygnet Clear Soup Base, silky Ever Green Classic Tofu, and Enoki Mushrooms.
• Chilled garlic–sesame salad — Thin‑slice, salt 10–15 minutes, rinse, then blanch 30–40 seconds. Chill and toss with rice vinegar, a touch of soy, sesame oil, and minced garlic cloves.
• Steamed stuffed rings (pork mince) — Core and slice into rings, stuff with seasoned pork mince, then steam until juicy. Finish with a light soy‑oyster drizzle. Use Pork Mince (Balanced Fat & Lean) and a splash of Haitian Premium Soy Sauce.

Prep Tips

• Slice lengthwise and scrape out the soft pith and seeds to mellow the bitterness.
• For a gentler taste, salt the slices 10–15 minutes, rinse, and pat dry before cooking.
• Quick blanching (20–40 seconds) sets color and reduces bitterness before stir‑frying or salad prep.
• Stir‑fry hot and fast to keep a pleasant crunch; avoid overcooking.
