I wasn't planning to use my bitter melon for juice. Do you have suggesions for serving it in other ways, such as stir fried, curried or stuffed.

jimster -

I saute' a little garlic and onion in oil and then lightly fry up some diced bitter melon and mushrooms then add beaten eggs.

Variations include adding diced tomatoes, chilis and/or a bit of cheese.

This scambled egg, omelette - like dish is one I like for breakfast, before a day in the garden.

Jim:
There are many ways to use bitter melon in cooking.
Stir fry is one, combine it with union, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, season them and add the sauces of your choice.
I also stuff them. Cut horizontally, clean out the inside with a sharp knife and a tea spoon. Then stuff with similar combination as the stir fry recipe above , you may include some cooked rice, and even some chopped small pieces of the bitter melon in the combination. Line them up in a pan, pour a thick tomatoe sauce over them and in to the oven for about 45 minutes. I also add a few table spoons of water to the pan to keep it nice and moist while cookinbg.
If you are against the bitter taste, you may add some organic apple cider vinegar and perhaps some honey during the preperation.
Best of luck

I've been wanting to try bitter melon. Why do people eat it if theydont like the bitter taste?

Why do I eat hot peppers when it burns my mouth?

Thanks for the cooking suggestions, Nam and Janoyan.
