Yam and Cloud Ear Stir-fried Bitter Melon

Cleansing Recipe 1: Yam Stir-fried Bitter Melon

Recommended Reason: Bitter melon is cold in nature and bitter in taste, affecting the heart, lung, and stomach. It functions to relieve summer heat, quench thirst, lower blood pressure and lipids, enhance beauty, and promote metabolism.

Instructions:

1. Wash the bitter melon, cut it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the pulp and seeds with a spoon. Cut it into strips and set aside. Wash the yam, peel it, and cut it into strips as well.

2. Soak the yam and bitter melon strips briefly in water, then drain. Heat oil in a wok. When the oil is moderately hot (about 50-60% heated), add the yam strips.

3. Stir the yam strips with chopsticks to prevent sticking during frying. Fry until the surface slightly shrinks and the yam is cooked through, then remove and drain the oil. Repeat the same process for the bitter melon strips. Pour out most of the oil from the wok, leaving a little at the bottom. Sauté minced garlic and ginger until fragrant. Return the yam and bitter melon to the wok. Add a little sugar and salt for seasoning. Pour in a starch-water mixture to thicken the sauce, then remove from heat.
