Minced pork with bitter gourd is a nutritious and flavorful dish, balancing the pork’s richness with the gourd’s unique bitterness. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to master it.
Ingredients: 200g ground pork, 1 medium bitter gourd, 2 garlic cloves (minced), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce, ½ tsp sugar, salt, pepper, and cooking oil.
Steps:
1. Prepare the bitter gourd: Wash it, cut in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Slice into thin 0.3cm pieces. Soak in salted water for 10 minutes to reduce bitterness, then rinse and drain.
2. Cook the pork: Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Add minced pork, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, then add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.
3. Combine and season: Add bitter gourd slices to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Mix in soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, ensuring all flavors meld.
Serving tip: For extra richness, drizzle with a teaspoon of sesame oil before serving. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice, offering a healthy mix of protein and vegetables. Enjoy the harmonious blend of savory and slightly bitter flavors!
