Mrs. Yung will show you how to make bitter melon less bitter and deliciously crunchy. Yes, not bitter - bitter melon salad.
Ingredients:
140 g (14oz) Bitter Melon
4 Sticks of Imitation Crab Meat
5 ml Ice water
250 ml Ice cubes
2 tbsp Crushed peanuts
Dressing:
⅓ tsp Salt
3 tbsp Mayonnaise
1 tbsp Ketchup
Method:
Half bitter melons and remove seeds. Cut bitter melon at a slight angle to create larger pieces.
Quickly boil sliced bitter melon for 1 minute. Transfer melon slices into a bowl of cold water.
From cold water, transfer bitter melon into an ice bath. Let bathe for 30 minutes, remove and drip dry.
In another bowl, mix bitter melon and dressing ingredients.
Loosen imitation crab meat into strings, place on top of bitter melon. Sprinkle crushed up peanuts and it’s ready to serve.
Note:
Transferring bitter melon into cold water prior to the ice bath is to help prevent it from melting the ice too quickly.
Soaking bitter melon in ice water gives them the crispiness after the quick simmer as well as to reduce the bitterness.
