How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh bitter melon (Japanese gourd)
- You should choose bitter melons with fresh stems, bright green skin, shiny surface, and few dark spots; these are usually firm, crunchy, and sweet.
- Avoid choosing melons that are too young or too old, as young ones will not be fragrant or sweet, and older ones will be fibrous and tough.
- Try to avoid bitter melons that are wilted, especially those with soft stems and yellowing.
How to choose fresh, clean duck eggs
- Observe the eggshell. Fresh duck eggs usually have a bright, creamy white shell, evenly colored, without cracks or dark spots.
- You can touch the surface of the eggshell; if it feels rough and slightly bumpy, it is a fresh duck egg, while a smooth surface indicates the egg has been stored for a while.
- Do not buy eggs that have unusual colors, many dark spots, or strange odors, as these indicate old or spoiled eggs.

Prepare the bitter melon
After purchasing the bitter melon, wash it thoroughly with water, then drain, cut it in half, and slice it thinly for eating.
Chop off the roots of the green onions, wash them clean, and then cut them into pieces about 2 finger lengths. For the garlic cloves, peel them and chop finely!
Note: If the seeds and flesh of the bitter melon are still young, they can be used; if they are old, they need to be discarded!

Stir-fry the bitter melon until cooked
Place a pan on the stove, turn on medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the pan, wait for the oil to heat up, then add garlic to sauté until fragrant.

Season with 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of seasoning, 1/4 tablespoon of monosodium glutamate, and 1/4 tablespoon of salt, stir well for about 2 minutes for the bitter melon to absorb the seasonings.
