Bitter Melon and Tuna Salad with Spicy Mayonnaise
One Cookpad user called Setsubunhijiki had uploaded a recipe for "Bitter Melon and Crispy Pork With Spicy Mayonnaise" which was really delicious so I rearranged it a bit and added my own touches. I used sweet chili sauce plus mayonnaise to make it simple. The ponzu sauce really brings the flavors together.
Just use a pinch of salt to massage the bitter melon, or else the dish will be too salty.
Don't boil the bitter melon for too long.
Put the onions in a bowl of water to get rid of the harsh flavor. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by Wanko mama

Our two favorites are sliced onion salad and this tuna salad.The onion is soaked in water to remove the harshness, but it'll lose its nutrients if you soak it for too long, so soak it for about 2 to 3 minutes.
