I just came up with packing meat inside the bitter melon. The other tempura are my family's regular dish as I've been making them for a while.

Adding a little sugar helps the coating to become nice and crispy.
When you feel that you're short of flour for the dredging, please add some more. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
