Ingredients
- 2-3 medium sized bitter melon, deseeded and sliced
- ½ lb pork, thinly sliced into strips
- 1 tablespoon fermented black beans, lightly rinsed
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
Sauce
- 2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 3 teaspoon light soy sauce
- 2 teaspoon Shaoxing wine
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the bitter melon by cutting in half, lengthwise. Using a spoon, scrape out the seeds and discard. Cut each half into 1 cm pieces.
- Cook the bitter melon in boiling water for 10 minutes, until slightly soft. Drain and set aside.
- Combine all the SAUCE ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
- Heat a wok or skillet over high heat until it starts to smoke. Add a tablespoon of oil. Add the garlic and stir for about 5-10 seconds, just until it begins to change color.
- Add the pork and stir constantly until the pork is mostly cooked. This will be very fast since the pork is thinly sliced.
- Add the bitter melon, black beans and SAUCE.
- Stir constantly until everything is well combined and the pork is cooked through.
