Bitter Melon with Sauce
Prepare ingredients: bitter gourd, garlic, Chili oil, salt, cooking oil, white sugar, white vinegar and sesame oil.
Production process:
1, after cleaning the bitter gourd, cut off the head and tail parts with a knife, then cut the bitter gourd in half with a knife, and then remove the melon seeds from the bitter gourd with a spoon.
2. If you are also afraid of bitterness, then you must do this step. After the seeds of bitter gourd are removed, the white film below should also be scraped clean. After this layer is removed, the bitterness of bitter gourd can be reduced.
3. Cut the bitter gourd into pieces after removing the seeds, and then blanch the bitter gourd in water. The blanching has two advantages. The first 1 advantage is that it can remove some bitter taste of bitter gourd, and the second advantage is that it can remove oxalic acid from bitter gourd. When blanching, add a few drops of cooking oil and a spoonful of salt to the water, so that after blanching, bitter gourd will be cured.
4, blanched bitter gourd should be cooled quickly, so that bitter gourd will taste better. After cooling, control the water and put it into the plate for later use.
5. After peeling and washing the garlic, cut it into minced garlic with a knife, put it into a bowl, add a proper amount of salt, white sugar, a little white vinegar and sesame oil in the bowl, and stir with chopsticks until the salt and white sugar have melted. Pour the prepared juice on the bitter gourd slices, add a proper amount of Chili oil if you like spicy food, and stir evenly with chopsticks, and our cold bitter gourd will be ready.
In the production process, the second and third steps are to help remove the bitter taste of bitter gourd. If you don't like to eat bitter, you can pay attention to these two points. The cold bitter gourd made in this way has a slightly bitter taste, which I personally prefer. The cold bitter gourd tastes refreshing and not greasy, and it is particularly appetizing and refreshing in summer. My family and I prefer to eat this dish every summer.
