Eating healthy food is the best way to fight the virus. The most effecient food for me is vegetables. I know it's hard to buy food because of quarantine. Okay let's say it's not hard but how about the money to use? We are in quarantine and no work is happening for most of us. If no work, well of course no money.
Now, let's have a simple types of food but nutritious. Did you know about this vegetable named bitter melon or also called in our country "ampalaya?" I know it's bitter but there's a way how to lessen it's bitterness. Not only that, you can also mix egg with this vegetable. I want you to learn how to cook this kind of food. This will helps you not spend much money and have nutritious food.
Before we start cooking, let's prepare the ingredients that we need to use.
Sliced pieces of bitter melon. Well, we need to slice it in order for this to easy to cook and it's not good to see to have a whole bitter melon to cook.
The egg, we need to mix this egg just a variation for it. Remember that we need something different ways of cooking so that our appetite will back from eating repeated food. By the way we need to mix well the egg before mixing it into the bitter melon. The numbers of bitter melon and eggs will be depend on you as the one who will cook.
Let's have the basic spices of this.
The garlic, it's up to you how many pieces you want. Remember that this will provide a good smell. The many you'll have, more good smell to have.
The onion, it's fine to have 1 whole of this spice. It will also provide good smell like garlic.
Oh, I almost forgot. The secret of removing the bitter taste of this vegetable is mixing the small amount of salt into it. But don't think the bitter taste will completely be removed. What are we doing is to lessen the bitterness of it so that it's not that hard to eat.
Let's do the cooking now because the ingredients are now being prepared.
This is the pot that we will do the cooking. Remember that the cooking oil is the basic ingredients we need. We will stew the spices and the vegetables. We're not frying it so don't take too long in cooking the spices and vegetables in the pot with cooking oil.
Again don't cook it too long because we're not frying it but stewing.
When the pot is already hot, place now the small amount of cooking oil. Don't put too much amount of cooking oil so that it won't be oily.
When the cooking oil is being heated in the pot. You can place now at the same time the onion and garlic. Again, don't cook it for too long because we're not frying it, we will stew it only. One thing you must notice are the color of the spices. Wait for it until the color will become brownish. When the spices become brownish, that's the time to put the sliced bitter melon.
When you put the bitter melon in the pot. Wait for at least 5 minutes before placing the egg into it. When you put the egg, mix it and mix it. Don't let the egg be attached into the pot. We want to make sure that the egg will mix it's taste into the bitter melon.
As a chef of your own cooking, you must be responsible how it taste like and when to decide that it's enough. It's up to you to decide, add salt or seasoning depends on how you taste it. Then that's the time you can tell that it's ready to serve.
