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.

I didnt cook for Chinese New Year. This is one of the dishes my MIL made. It’s a homecooked chinese vegetarian dish and eaten on the 1st day of Chinese New Year. It’s a family tradition that never changes but i dont mind cos i’m not much of a meat eater anyway.
I hate being pressured to cook for a crowd. And i hate it even more when i’m expected to cook during festive celebration. But one day, sooner or later, i’ll have to cook for my family. Now is the time to experiment and learn more yummy dishes from my MIL.
Vegetarian dishes are good as they are nutritious and full of fibre. Guarantee no constipation, lol. Chinese vegetarian dishes are a great way to give the body a detox. Clears your digestive system of clogged up toxins. By the way, the Malaysia General Election day is on 8th March 2008. It’ll be good to eat this dish on that day as it keeps you full for a long time. I’ve been to the previous Malaysia Election Day before and i know how long the whole thing can be. So, do your part and cast your vote, ya.

I’m more of a vegetable eater than a meat eater. And baby French beans is just one of my favorites. Vegetables dont need long cooking time. Baby French beans are tender and sweet and tastes real good stir-fried with just a dash of salt and sliced garlic.
I love garlic too and will use it with nearly every dish that i cook. A simple dish of stir-fried baby French beans with garlic is a great accompaniment with just about any other dishes that you have or on its own.
