Ingredients

2 servings

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Put tofu in a sieve to remove excess water for about 30 minutes. Thinly slice the garlic. Scoop out the inside of the bitter melon with a spoon and slice into 2-3 mm thick. Cut the pork into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Take out chilled somen noodles, rinse quickly with water and drain water well with a sieve (clumped noodles are difficult to stir fry).

  3. 3

    In a frying pan, heat the oil and garlic and add the pork once the garlic is fragrant.

  4. 4

    When pork is almost cooked, add the sliced bitter melon and stir fry.

  5. 5

    Crumble tofu by hand, mix lightly, and season with soy sauce and sugar. Continue stir frying.

  6. 6

    Add somen noodles, mix well, and taste. Add salt if necessary. Sprinkle bonito flakes, toss, and add sesame seed oil for fragrance. Turn off heat.
