Steps

20 mins

1

Cut the Bitter melon in half. Remove the seeds and internal flesh using a spoon. Chop it into numerous slices. The thinner it is, the less bitter the flavour.
2

Dice the garlic
3

Use a kitchen paper to dry the moisture of the tofu. Then cut the tofu into small cubes.
4

These are all the required ingredients
5

Oil on a frying pan. Lightly stir fry the tofu cubes to coat the surfaces with light brown colour. This step further removes extra moisture from the tofu.
6

Clean pan again. Add oil. Stir fry the garlic and the bitter melon. Add a pinch of salt for seasoning. After that, add the bacon and continue to stir fry. The fat from the bacon should melts as it cooks.
7

Slightly smashed the tofu and add it into the stir fry.
8

Add some soy sauce and a dash of cooking sake for seasoning. (Optional: add a dash of white dashi)
9

Add the beaten egg and continue to stir fry for around 30 seconds. Do not overcook the egg otherwise it will become dry and give a bad mouthfeel.
10

Finally, put some dry bonito flakes on top as garnishing.
