Bitter Melon con Sisig / Ampalaya / Bitter Gourd

I just recently learned to eat Ampalaya. I could never stand the bitterness before. Some homecooks are able to remove the bitterness very well, not yet an expert but here's how. I do like this combination with sisig (Filipino favorite made of pork parts), I need meat to be able to eat Ampalaya. Lol

Steps
- 1
Prep first by lightly massaging the sliced gourd in salt in a container then set aside for 30 minutes. Be generous with the salt if you want to lessen the bitterness.
- 2
After 30 minutes pour out the liquid from the gourd container and wash away the salt in running water. Do this a few times or else it well be too salty. Lightly squeeze every time. Drop in your pan of boiling water. Bring back to a boil then drain and set aside.
- 3
In a pan, saute grlic and onions in oil until fragrant. Then add your pork sisig meat. Season with knorr as you saute.
- 4
Leave it to cook. When it starts sticking to the pan, it's ready. Add your sliced tomato and juices. Mix well.
- 5
Lightly squeeze excess moisture out then drop in your gourd/ampalaya to your cooked sisig. Mix lightly, cook a few minutes before adding your egg.
- 6
I like eggs, so I added 2. It can be right off from the shell. Keep mixing/flipping with your spatula until the eggs cook. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
