Bitter melon fried pork slices is actually a delicious dish.
This is a recipe developed by classmate Zhou during the epidemic. Many people don't like to eat bitter melon because they think it tastes bitter. But in fact, bitter melon is very flavor-absorbing. If fried together with meat slices, it will absorb the umami flavor of the meat slices. Coupled with the refreshing taste of bitter melon itself, it is really quite delicious!
Pork is used for meat slices. Pork is slightly cold in nature and has the effect of nourishing kidneys and nourishing yin. It is actually a good ingredient for health care.
However, I don’t usually like to eat stir-fried or boiled pork. I always feel it has a fishy smell. Classmate Zhou wisely marinated the pork in cooking wine for an hour, and then fried it with bitter melon. The taste was particularly delicious. It has a bad smell. Later, she told me that she had marinated it with white wine, and it was a very good white wine given by a friend’s winery. Since we don’t drink liquor, it’s also a pleasure to be able to use local ingredients to cook home-cooked delicacies.
This made me wonder: Can I also use Whisky to marinate pork? Then a bitter gourd stir-fried Whisky pork? Following this idea, foreign wine can be used as cooking wine in many home-cooked dishes. I immediately felt that this was a good marketing idea and should be sold to Diageo , Pernod , and Remy Martin Cointreau. Then I thought again, with the cost of living, I really have to "spend all my money to pay it back"...
Zhou's classmate went to participate in a family farmhouse during the weekend. Before leaving, she fried me a large plate of bitter melon and fried pork slices. Because it was so delicious, I was so focused on eating that I forgot to take pictures.
Of course we can’t keep the delicious food to ourselves, so we invited friends to share this plate of bitter melon fried pork slices.
A friend of mine is currently on a strict fitness and fat loss plan. He originally wanted to eat a cucumber, but then he saw bitter gourd fried with sliced meat and said he could also eat bitter melon. Finally she ate all the pieces of meat.
Of course, in addition to this plate of fried pork slices with bitter melon that made me let go of my reserve and return to my original intention, I also ordered Pan Xiaoshao’s barbecue that night. This is a Yunnan barbecue restaurant that I have recently fallen in love with. My favorite is their veal skewers. Four tender pieces of Wagyu beef are strung on wires, giving it a melt-in-the-mouth feeling. There is also their grilled chicken feet, which according to classmate Zhou, is a very authentic Yunnan flavor. The roasted chicken feet were fragrant and delicious, and I felt like I had eaten a whole piece of collagen .
Although I have always supported healthy eating, I would be angry if I were asked to strictly follow a healthy fat loss diet and eat three meals a day. Isn’t there a saying that says, “Love and food are the only things you can’t live up to?” Imagine returning home after a hard day and seeing your family preparing familiar home-cooked food for you. At that moment, you will feel that all the grievances and frustrations you experienced outside are just a piece of residue between your teeth. That’s all. Eat and drink enough, brush your teeth at night, and lie down in the familiar nest . There is only love in life.
