Bitter gourd is a healthy food. Using this bitter gourd along with eggs and dried shrimp, we'd like to share a Vietnamese-style recipe with food lovers on MyFood Myanmar.

Ingredients

  • 2 bitter gourds
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
  • 4 tablespoons dried shrimp (soaked in water for about 30 minutes)
  • 1 teaspoon thinly sliced shallots
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Step-by-step Instructions

1. Cut the bitter gourds in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Then slice them thinly. After that, put them in water, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and soak for about 30 minutes. Once the time is up, rinse them again with water.

2. In a small bowl, beat the eggs together with the fish sauce and sugar until well mixed.

3. Heat a pan and add the vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and dried shrimp and stir-fry for about 3 to 5 minutes.

4. Then add the bitter gourd and stir-fry for about 5 to 10 minutes.

5. Then pour in the beaten eggs. Stir-fry while the eggs are still slightly undercooked.

Just before taking it off the heat, sprinkle in the ground pepper and shallots.

And there you have it - a delicious Vietnamese-style bitter gourd and egg stir-fry dish.
