Method

  1. 1 Cut the bitter gourd in half, remove the white pith as that is the most bitter part, then slice it thinly.
  2. 2 Toss the bitter melon with salt, let it sit for 10 minutes, then drain it well to reduce bitterness while maintaining its crispness.
  3. 3 Break the drained tofu into large pieces, fry until golden brown on the edges, then remove from the pan.
  4. 4 Sauté the sliced canned meat until slightly browned, then add the bitter melon and stir-fry quickly over high heat for 2 minutes.
  5. 5 Add the tofu, pour in the beaten eggs, season with soy sauce, sprinkle with bonito flakes, and turn off the heat.
