Cooking Instructions
- 1
Halve the bitter melon. Remove its seeds and fiber, and cut into 5 mm slices. You don't need to remove any bitterness by soaking it in salt water.
- 2
Put the bitter melon and the ★ ingredients into a plastic bag and let the flavors settle in.
- 3
Transfer the bitter melon into a new plastic bag, and coat with katakuriko. Let some air into the bag and shake it around. The katakuriko will coat the melon nicely.
- 4
Heat some oil in a frying pan and pan-fry the bitter melon. Flip them over once they're nicely browned. They're done when both sides become crisp.

Pan-Fried Bitter Melon and Pork with Miso Pan-Fried Bitter Melon and Pork with Miso
I thought of making a milder tasting dish with bitter melon.Boil the bitter melon in a pot for 30 seconds. Be careful not to over-cook it, because the color of bitter melon will fade out. If you like, you can sprinkle bonito flakes in the end which will make it even tastier. Reducing the amount of miso in half and adding Chinese sauces such as tian mian jiang (sweet bean sauce) or douchi (black bean garlic sauce) are very delicious alternatives! For 4 servings.
