Healthyfied Ampalaya with Egg
My mother gave me ampalaya from Bulacan and I asked my diet buddy how to cook it to lessen its bitterness without soaking it in water.
I was surprised that all I had to do was cook it on its own.
Ingredients
- 2 bitter gourd (ampalaya)
- 2 egg
- 2 tomato
- 1 red onion
- 1 garlic
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- slice the bitter gourd and red onion, dice the tomatoes, mince the garlic
- heat the pan in low heat then melt the butter
- add the onion, cook until slightly brown
- add the garlic and tomato, then add water, cook until tomato softened
- turn off the heat, add in the eggs, mix it in the pan until eggs are scrambled
- turn on the heat, put in low, add the bitter gourd (ampalaya), add a little bit of water then cover, let the bitter gourd cook on its own. (No mixing!)
Notes: bitter gourd will turn a little bit yellow once cooked
