Bitter Melon Namul
- 1 Bitter melon
- 1/2 tsp Salt (to prepare the bitter melon)
- 2 Green chili peppers
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 Salt and pepper (to season)
- 2 tsp Dashida
- 3 tbsp Sesame oil
- Slice the bitter melon in half, and scoop out the seeds and pith with a spoon.
- Slice the bitter melon thinly, less than 5 mm thick.
- If it's sliced too thickly, the bitterness is more pronounced, so alter the thickness to your liking.
- Put the sliced bitter melon, a little water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a bowl.
- Mix lightly and leave for about 10 minutes.
- Mince the garlic and green chili peppers.
- If you touch the hot green chili peppers with your bare hands, it'll burn as if you were burnt, so I recommend wearing gloves.
- Stir fry the garlic and chili peppers in the sesame oil in a frying pan over low heat.
- Once the oil becomes fragrant, add the bitter melon.
- Stir fry over medium heat.
- When the bitter melon has become semi-translucent and glossy, season with the salt, pepper and dashida.
- Adjust the amount of dashida to taste.
- And it's done!
- Enjoy this with lots of rice or beer.
