stir-fried beef with bitter melon

Stir-fried Beef with Bitter Melon presents a contrasting blend of savory and bitter flavors: gently seasoned beef blends with bitter melon, which, after being cooked, retains its distinctive hint of bitterness. The crunchy texture of the bitter melon and the tender slices of meat create harmony in every bite, while shallots, garlic, and ginger add a warm, appetizing aroma. This dish is considered healthy and quick to prepare, but requires extra attention to the process of pressing and sautéing the bitter melon to avoid an overly bitter taste and to prevent overcooking the meat.
