My mother taught me this recipe.
I've been making this since last year, and it goes well with beer.

Since the pith absorbs water, thoroughly pat dry the excess water. The stiff batter will give that extra tasty crunch. Recipe by Daiharu0712

Ingredients

4 servings
  1. 1Bitter melon
  2. 1Tempura flour
  3. 1Salt (optional)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the bitter melon with seeds and pith intact into 1 cm rings. For those who prefer to remove the bitterness, soak in water first.

  2. 2

    After soaking, the water will remain in the pith, so thoroughly pat dry excess water. Add salt to the tempura flour to make a stiff batter.

  3. 3

    Deep fry to a crisp, and serve! Since they are already salted, you can munch on them as is.

  4. 4

    The seeds are edible. They will become nice and crunchy.
