Bitter melon can clear away heat and detoxify, but because of its bitter taste, children don’t like it very much. Today I made a stuffed bitter melon dish, which was very popular.

Tips

Soak the bitter melon in salt water first to remove some of the bitter taste. Adding an egg to the minced meat makes the meat more tender.
