1. Bitter melon and lean meat soup

Ingredients: 250 grams of bitter melon and 100 grams of lean pork. Seasoning: salt.

Method: Wash the bitter melon, remove the pulp and cut into cubes; wash the lean pork and slice it into slices.

2. Bitter Melon Bone Soup

Ingredients: 300 grams of large bones, 1 bitter melon, salt, green onion.

Method: Chop the large bones into sections (be careful not to chop them too finely to avoid losing the bone marrow), put them in boiling water and cook for 2 minutes with the lid off to remove the blood foam. Remove the large bones and put them in cold water. Pour enough water into the pot, add the bones, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer for 2 hours, then start processing the bitter melon. Wash the bitter melon, remove the inner seeds and white flesh, and cut into 0.6 cm thick slices. (If you are worried that the bitter melon is too bitter, you can marinate the bitter melon with salt for a while and squeeze out the bitter melon juice). Pour in the bitter melon and cook together with the bone broth for 15 minutes. Chop the green onion into mince, sprinkle it into the cooked bone soup, and season with salt.
