I love bitter gourds. Too bad my kids dont like it, but that’s not my problem, lol. But if i were to make soup with bitter gourds, you can be sure they wont touch it. But if it’s fried with eggs, maybe….. just maybe, they may eat the egg bits. Many people swear by the curative properties of bitter gourds for diabetes. But even if it doesnt, i still love to eat bitter gourds.
Preparation for homecooked fried bitter gourd with eggs is easy. Just slice the bitter gourd lengthwise, scrape and scoop out the inner white pulp. Leave the outer green parts. And then, cut the bitter gourd into thin slices. Rub salt all over the cut up bitter gourd slices to remove the bitter taste if you like. Leave for about 5 to 10 minutes and rinse the salt off. Squeeze the water out of the bitter gourd.
Put all the sliced bitter gourd into the wok and fry it for a short while. Crack a few eggs in and voila, you get a quick dish of homecooked fried bitter gourd with eggs. You may add some garlic or onions to it if you like when you fry the bitter gourd but i normally dont. But if i’m in the mood, i may add some prawns to it just right before i crack the eggs in. Have a bite….. and hope you liked my homecooked fried bitter gourd with eggs recipe.
