Steps

1

Wash the bitter gourd well, and cut it in half lengthwise.
2

Take out the seeds with a large spoon.
3

Remove all of the white pulp.
4

The thinner you cut it, the less bitter it will be.
5

Sprinkle it generously with salt.
6

Rub it well with your hands.
7

Let it sit for a while. When you squeeze it, green juice will come out, like in the photo. The juice is bitter!
8

Heat some water in a pot. Drain the green juice, then boil the goya.
9

Lightly boil, and when it turns bright green, drain it in a colander. Use it in dishes like Goya salad or Goya stir-fried Okinawan style (goya chanpuru).
