Stir-fried bittergourd with eggs (for 2 pax)
Ingredients:
1 bittergourd
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp cooking wine
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp concentrated chicken stock
1 tsp sugar
3 eggs
Salt
White pepper
Oil
Instructions:
1) Cut the bittergourd to half length-wise, then scrape out the insides and seeds. Slice it thinly.
2) Break the eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly. Add the light soy sauce, cooking wine, sesame oil and a bit of white pepper, then mix well.
3) Heat up some oil in a skillet, then add the minced garlic. Once fragrant (should take only around 10 to 15 seconds), add the bittergourd slices and stir fry for around 2 to 3 minutes.
4) Mix the concentrated chicken stock with a bit of water, then add the sugar and mix well. Add the mixture into the skillet and stir fry until it is uniform.
5) Add the egg mixture slowly into the skillet, stirring as you pour it in. Once they are scrambled (should still be a bit moist), it is done. Serve immediately.
