Directions

  1. Combine the stuffing ingredients in a large bowl. Mix them thoroughly.
  2. The hands are the best tool for this job.
  3. Cut the bitter melon into 1-inch slices; throw away the end pcs. With a paring knife, trim out the insides. Lift them out. Stuff the cavity of each slice with a generous spoonful of stuffing.
  4. Arrange the stuffed pcs of vegetable on a plate and set the plate on a
  5. trivet in a wok over sufficient warm water to come within 1 inch of the plate.
  6. Cover the wok and steam the food for 20 min. Remove the platter and trivet.
  7. In a separate wok or possibly pan, prepare the sauce. First heat 2 Tbsp. peanut oil. Add in the garlic and fermented black beans, stir for a minute, then add in the Shaoxing wine, chicken stock and salt. Add in the liquid which results from the steaming of the melon. Bring the mix to a boil.
  8. Thicken with the dissolved cornstarch and flavor with sesame oil.
  9. Pour the sauce over the bitter melons and serve.
  10. Serves 2 as a main course.
  11. NOTE: Hom makes no mention of blanching although another bitter melon recipe in another book*does* say which it will cut the bitterness.
