Steps

1

Cut the bitter melon in half, and scrape out the seeds and the bitter white pith with a spoon.
2

Slice thinly, about 2 mm thick. Blanch in boiling water.
3

Squeeze out all the moisture from the blanched and drained bitter melon slices.
4

Combine the sugar, soy sauce, and vinegar in a pan and bring to a boil. Add the bitter melon and simmer over medium heat.
5

Simmer until there's no moisture left in the pan. Add the bonito flakes and sesame seeds at the end, and it's done.
