Okinawa cuisine--fried bitter gourd with egg, tofu

Overview

Okinawa is Japan's longevity prefecture, and Okinawa's cuisine is also regarded by many as the representative of longevity cuisine. Although it may not look as exquisite as typical Japanese cuisine, the selection and combination of ingredients are a model of health. Okinawa cuisine also has many places that are very close to our Chinese cuisine. For example, in Japan, it is difficult to see pork with the skin on sale, let alone pork head meat and pig feet; but in Okinawa, pig skin, pig head, and pig feet are famous local dishes. It is said that women in Okinawa have excellent skin because they eat a lot of animal collagen! Today's stir-fried bitter melon with eggs and tofu is actually basically similar to the stir-fried bitter melon with eggs and tofu that we often eat, except that Japanese condiments are used in the seasoning, and fried tofu is added to it, making this home-cooked dish more nutritious and Orientalized in taste.
