I really miss our home, its exactly two weeks since the last time I've been there, and what I missed the most is cooking for my mother, I so much missed her :) every weekend kasi my duty is in kitchen.
So for now I would like to share one of my specialty, not everyone can do this :) how to make sauteed bitter gourd, what's really special on this menu is how to lessen the bitterness of this dish, because most people knows how to cook this but you'll notice its taste its different.
First, prepare the ingredient:
1 meduim size onion (cut into pieces)
2 cloves of garlic (cut into pieces)
2 meduim size eggs
2 meduim size tomato (cut into pieces)
2 big ampalaya ( Bitter gourd)
spices
The next thing that I did is to beat the eggs, put salt and pepper and scrambled it first. Tips: I'll do this to preserve the neatness of the dish you'll see it later :)
After scrambled egg, on same pan, sauteed garlic, onion and tomato.
Then, put bitter gourd, As you notice I do not add meat, because my mother is a diabetic person so as much as possible we have to less meat on every dish, that we use to cook. Also by not putting of meat we are able to taste and smell the real aroma of bitter gourd.
Next, add the bitter gourd to the pan.
then, add salt and pepper or any spices you want. Simmer for at least 2 minutes before mixing ( that's the secret of the and less bitterness of this dish). After 2 minutes mixed it with the sauteed ingredients
Turn off the heat, then add the scrambled egg and mix, and serve.
Yummy!
