Hunan Style Bitter Melon Stir-fried Pork

Overview

There are many ways to make stir-fried bitter melon with pork. I would like to recommend a homemade Hunan-style recipe that has been on our chef’s menu for many foodies for many years. The cooking method is based on health, taking into account the combination of color and flavor. The taste is slightly bitter and less spicy, moderately salty and fresh, and the taste is relatively strong. I hope everyone will like it.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash and cut the bitter melon into thin slices, put it in a bowl, sprinkle some salt on it, mix well, and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Then wash it twice with cold water, drain and set aside; (this step is to reduce the bitter taste of bitter melon)

   

2. 2 Slice the lean meat, cut the red pepper into rings, mince the garlic, soak the black beans in water for about 2 minutes, wash and set aside;

   

3. 3 Heat the pot, add the bitter melon to the pot and stir-fry. Stir-fry the bitter melon until it is dry and half-cooked, then pour the bitter melon out onto a plate; (to further remove the bitter taste from the bitter melon)

   

4. 4 Heat the pan, pour in the oil, and when the oil is hot, add the garlic and red pepper and stir-fry for a while;

   

5. 5 Pour the lean meat into the pot and stir-fry together until the meat changes color, pour a little light soy sauce, add a little salt and continue to stir-fry for a while (here you are adding salt to the meat, just add a little bit);

   

6. 6 Pour in the bitter melon, add the black bean paste and continue to stir-fry for about 1 minute; (because the bitter melon has been pickled with salt, there is no need to add salt in this step)

   

7. 7 Add a small amount of water, wait until the water boils, then remove from the pot and put on a plate. The fried pork with bitter melon is delicious and delicious, and you're done.
