Bitter gourd is a seasonal food in summer. Bitter gourd is known as a "gentleman's dish". Although it tastes bitter, it will not be transmitted to other ingredients when cooked with meat, eggs and other ingredients, but will be concentrated in itself. Although bitter gourd tastes too bitter, it has a good effect of clearing away heat and relieving fire. Bitter gourd is also very helpful for lowering blood sugar. Bitter gourd contains insulin-like peptides, so eating bitter gourd has an auxiliary hypoglycemic effect on diabetes. If someone has diabetes at home, it is helpful to eat some bitter gourd regularly.
Although bitter gourd is good, many people, including children, don't like the taste of bitter gourd, so it will reduce the bitterness when we clean the white pulp of bitter gourd when dealing with it. We can also blanch bitter gourd with hot water before frying it, which can also remove the bitterness very well.

Bitter gourd 1 strip, tenderloin 150g, cooking wine 1-2 tablespoons, soy sauce 1 spoon, a little sugar, garlic 1 petal, a little ginger and a little salt.

Boil water again, add a little salt after the water boils, add 1 tsp oil, and then add bitter gourd to blanch. After the bitter gourd turns color, take it out with a colander and control the water for later use.
