People in the world say that Coptis chinensis is bitter, but how bitter is it? I don't know, although I have never eaten Coptis chinensis, but I have eaten "bitter gourd".
The first time I ate it, it was hard to swallow, and I was thinking, why is there such an unpalatable vegetable in the world?
According to historical records, bitter gourd originated in Indonesia and was only introduced to the mainland during the Song and Yuan dynasties.
There is also a folk tradition that bitter gourd is cooked with other ingredients and does not pass on its own bitter taste to other dishes, so bitter gourd is also known as a "gentleman's dish".
Later, after trying it a few times, I gradually liked the taste, especially in the summer, and it became a must-eat dish on the table.
Usually the general method is bitter gourd scrambled eggs, cold bitter gourd, as for the folklore does not cross-taste, I haven't tried it, and the most eaten are these two methods!
In fact, I don't think it should be true that there is no cross-flavor, because the bitter gourd itself is already very bitter~
Even if you make it with other ingredients, the bitterness of bitter gourd will overpower the bitterness of other ingredients, so it is not so obvious when you eat it.
It's just a guess, I'll try it myself another day to see if it's really not flavorful!
Although bitter gourd is bitter, it has the effect of clearing heat and relieving heat, nourishing the liver and brightening the purpose, and it is still very friendly to eat in summer!
