When I first came to Guangdong, I often heard people say "cold melon scrambled eggs", opened the takeaway software, and also saw "cold melon".
I've always wondered, what kind of vegetable is cold melon?
It wasn't until I saw the Buddha-figure that I realized that the cold melon on this side of Guangdong was a bitter melon! To put it another way, it seems to have become less bitter?
There is also a folk legend about bitter melon, saying that it is a gentleman's melon: "do not pass on one's own bitterness and other things" - meaning that it is fried with other dishes, does not skewer, does not pass on its own bitter taste to other dishes.
Only bitter oneself, not others, this is the definition of "gentleman's melon".
After all, it is a legend, because of its bitter taste, people who like it are enjoying it, and people who don't like it, how to eat it is also bitter and difficult to swallow.
When I was a child, I didn't love bitter melon much, and I felt that eating it was no less than drinking bitter tea!
But my parents liked it, and the family often cooked it to eat. They would read that it would be beneficial to eat more bitter melons, cool off the heat, and at the same time clip a chopsticks of bitter melons into my bowl.
Reluctantly, I had to eat quickly every time, and swallow a few mouthfuls of rice to swallow the bitter taste. If the movement slows down, it seems that the bitter taste will spread.
Sometimes, when the adults are not paying attention, they pretend to drop the bitter melon in the bowl on the ground. Of course, my parents did not agree, and severely criticized this behavior...
Later, a friend joked that I am afraid it is not a problem of bitter melons, but a problem of people.
Bitter melon is not bitter, it all depends on whether it will be done.
Only then did I have the opportunity to start learning from her, and in various ways, I removed the bitter taste of bitter melon.
At the beginning of learning, it was a humble, and even took a bitter melon vegetarian stir-fry, which can taste enough bitterness, almost dissuaded!
Later, I consulted a Hakka friend and learned to make stuffed bitter melon, the skin of the bitter melon wrapped in glutinous rice and mushroom meat filling, full of fresh flavor.
On the way to this bitter melon, I learned to stir-fry meat and scrambled eggs with bitter melon, eat it cold, squeeze it into juice to drink, and make rib soup...
I tried all kinds of flavors and seemed to be acceptable.
In the end, even the remaining soup of the bitter melon can be drunk.
It is not that you can't eat bitterness, but you really taste "bitter and sweet"
