Stir-fried Bitter Melon with Black Bean Sauce

Overview

The bitter melons that my mother planted in the courtyard were picked when they were small. I ate one piece at a time, which was just right. I paired it with black beans and dried red peppers. It was salty and spicy, and it went well with rice. When I got home at noon, I could have this delicious meal in just a few minutes.
