Tūtū Kauka used to tell a story about going into a Chinese restaurant in Germany (I think?) with Grampa Kauka. They asked if there was any fu kwa (not sure of spelling), not really expecting any, and then the server disappeared into the kitchen. Soon after, the cook came out and said, "WHO ASK FOR FU KWA??" He glared at them and said, "YOU COME BACK TOMORROW". Dutifully, they returned the following day, and the cook happily presented them with a fu kwa dish. I like to think it was stuffed bittermelon!

We went down to china town and ordered beef and bittermelon cooked in black bean sauce. One day the discussion was about how to cook the bitterness out of the bittermelon. The answer was to use a little more sugar in cooking the bittermelons.

@HawaiisPickleLady 3 жыл бұрын

You really can't tell if it's bitter. I don't like to put more sugar.

@rafaelperez5762 7 ай бұрын

Others have to simmer the bitter melon in water with baking soda, the melon have to be turn over to immerse into the water! Then stuff the mixture and steam or fried will do good to the taste buds! Happy eating. . . 😊

@user-qg2qf5xm1n 6 ай бұрын

@marychin170...You can use a salt/water brine and let sit for about 15 minutes. Rinse well and it does take a lot of the bitterness out. I, of course love the bitterness so I leave it as is.
