Ingredients

1 medium bitter melon (about 12 ounce, thinly sliced)
4 Eggs
1 tsb Suger (If it’s too bitter, add more)
Salt (to taste)
2 slice Ginger (Minced)
1 Green Onion (Minced)
1-2 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

Wash one bitter melon, cut it in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and pulp, and slice it. Beat the eggs in a bowl until well mixed. Finely chop the scallion, ginger, and garlic, and set aside.
Heat a pan, add oil, pour in the eggs, and stir-fry until cooked. Remove and set aside.
Add oil to a wok or frying pan. Add the chopped scallion, ginger, and garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the sliced bitter melon and sugar, and stir-fry until about halfway cooked. If it becomes too dry during cooking, add 1 tablespoon of water.
Add the cooked eggs and salt, stir-fry until fully cooked, and transfer to a plate to serve.
