Ginisang Ampalaya na May Itlog at Hipon Recipe

I understand that one might need to develop an acquired taste in order to appreciate bitter gourd (also referred to as bitter melon). I am one of those people who were trying hard to configure their taste buds for this vegetable.

Eventually, I was able to adapt. I started by making the bitter gourd less bitter (in a way that I can call it semi-bitter gourd). This involves slicing it in thin pieces and soaking in water with salt. The salt helps take the bitterness out. I then wash it in running water to remove the salty taste. How about you? What do you do to make this vegetable less bitter?

Ginisang Ampalaya can be done in less than 15 minutes. You can serve this solely as a main dish, or you can also pair this with fried fish such as galunggong or fried tilapia .
