Bitter Gourd with sweet sauce

Not many people like bitter gourd because of the bitterness, including myself. But the method used here will be able to reduce the bitterness and therefore it is more acceptable.

Cut the bitter gourd into cube, and boil in hot water until it is 80% cooked.

Heat up the wok, fry the onion and slice leek until fragrant, add slice pork. Fry for 3 minutes before adding rice wine, oyster sauce, soya sauce and rock sugar. Finally add in the bitter gourd and simmer for 10 minutes until bitter gourd is soft.

The result is quite satisfying as the bitterness is reduced by boiling the bitter gourd in hot water, and it taste nice and tender.
