I’m a Filipina and we call it AMPALAYA. Some cooked the way you did, squeezing or removed the juice with the salt but not for me because I didn’t want to throw the nutrients (from the juice). Tho’ we cooked in same way. Gardening is my favorite hobby and planting this Bitter Melon/Gourd is abundant in my backyard garden tru the bamboo stick trellis during Summer Season in Chicago, USA 🇺🇸 Thank you also for sharing.
My favorite veg ever! Beef with bitter melon with black beans is my fave
My Filipino ampalaya recipe for a salad: Slice the ampalaya, add sliced onion, chopped tomato, bits of fresh ginger, vinegar, pepper. Perfect with fried fish or as topping for a handful of baby spinach.
I cooked your recipe for bitter melon with canned dace & black beans, SO delicious! You keep me fed & happy, thank you 🥰
I'm from sacramento calif.
Thank you so much.
I'm diabetic and heard that bitter could lower my blood sugar.
It really does.
Thanks to you for showing me and her how to use it.
Thank you for the clever editing. You showed garlic whole and then cut to chopped garlic. (Same for red peppers and scallions.) I don't need to see another video of a chef chopping onions, garlic and chiles. Thank you. Well done!
I am viewing from the twin island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago...we call this vegetable "caraille"..Usually eaten fried in local East Indian dishes but I love it stir- fried with beef chinese-style😊❤
Its called "Karella" in northern India. Plural is "Karelle".
So the Trini name "Caraille" is just a carry over from the Indian name I guess.
Thank u I WILL TRY ALL FIVE DIDHES, I HAVE ENJOYED IT FRIED WITH GARLIC THANK U.
I bet the bitter melon could work well (especially after the soak & squeeze) not just curried or stir-fried (otherwise known by such names as poriyal or thoran among other names), but also in a litany of other dishes such as in biryani/kongfan form, in samosas & dumplings, dal, sambars, chutneys, pickles, & a classic northeast Indian dish of pork with bamboo shoots, to name a few. In fact, I suspect that it would go just as well cooked with hing/asafoetida and/or mushrooms as with allium stuff especially in veg form, but also in non-veg cooking
@@tktyga77 its often cooked with raw mango powder to give it a bit of a bitter tang. And yes it is often picked along side lotus stem, raw mangos etc.
@@kth6736llllll look l
Thank you for sharing your recipes watching from the beautiful tropical islands of Trinidad and Tobago
11:07 You can also add vinegar or a citrus juice to the water to further reduce the bitterness. Italians do this a lot with large eggplant or bitter greens before sauteing.
Great idea using eggplant 🍆
@@osakarose5612 Doesn't matter, just something acidic that isn't sweet, so cook's choice.
Today I tried your recipe with an eggs. It was very tasty. I am planning to try other ones.
Greetings from Florida.
It’s my favorite vegetable. I love it even if it’s bitter.
My favorite vegetable! In Japan it's "Goya", and my favorite dish is Goya Champloo/Chanpuru from Okinawa! It goes sooooo well with eggs, very similar to the first recipe but adding in tofu, pork and bonito flakes.
Good recipes. I don't cook a lot of Indian cuisine anymore. When I do I make a bitter melon curry that's pretty tasty.
I love all of your bitter melon recipes! Very nutritious n tasty dishes! TQ so much for sharing!
I love this vegetable.plus the way she cooked it,is to die for.
Am from the philippines.i love all Ur recipe.God BLESS U Nd family.
We call it a Ampalaya in the Philippines, has many good health benefits and one reason why I started eating it. I cook it with egg, ground pork and tomatoes together. Sometimes, I add to stir fry shrimp. We also add it to mung beans soup and Pinakbet, a vegetable dish with Squash, eggplant, green beans and stir fried with pork and shrimp.( very popular dish in the Philippines).
WHY???what do you think of Filipino's theres no food?what a question!!!😢😢😢
I've never had bitter melon before but that stuffed recipe really appealed to me.
Looks so yum!
I love bitter melon. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing these recipes. I can’t wait to try them out. ❤
Yesss bitter melon it's my fave 😁 thanks for sharing
Beautiful recipes. I was from the Philippines. We do call it bitter melon and generally cook it like you did with eggs but we add shrimp too. Haven’t had it in years but now a good reminder. Delicious!
Bitter melon with scrambled egg and shrimp and a bit of fish sauce and sugar. SOOOO GOOD.
I think that's called Pinkabet (sp?) .. . filipino dish. Yum
I've wondered for years how to cook bitter melon so thank you for these recipes. I liked the look of the stuffed recipe a lot, but most of the others look really interesting too.

THANK YOU, Mandy! I only knew of 2 of these recipes, so you've helped expand our menu! I've been experimenting with using Bitter Melon instead of Opo (and vice versa) - and found that Opo and Bitter Melon make a nice stir fry. ANYHOW - can't wait to try these new dishes (especially the beef with preserved radish mmmmmmm). You're awesome, Mandy! Thank you!
Thank you Mandy for re-introducing Bitter Melon. I enjoy and appreciate all these Bitter Melon Recipes because they a versatile vegetable. Happy Lunar New Year in Advance.
My fave is a cantonese classic ... beef and bitter melon in black bean garlic oyster sauce.
You cook so amazing I love learning from your skills!
Thanks for sharing this with us 👍🏻
*Thanks for the recipe ❤️*
To remove the bitterness, use lime or lemon juice. My neighbour uses tamarind juice. Both work better than salt.
Omg I LOVE bitter melon, and all of these dishes look SO good! Thank you very much for sharing! Btw, I grew them a few years ago (live in Wisconsin, USA), three varieties... and I had SO many... both refrigerator drawers filled... I wish I had these recipes back then, but ended up dehydrating most of them. Very easy to grow.
beef stir fry with bitter melon is one of my favourites 😍
I've always loved bittermelon growing up. The more bitter, the better. In Ilocano we call it parya, & in Tagalog ampalaya. We also eat the tender leaves with the gourd in tinola (chicken in clear broth), mung bean stew, & pinakbet just to name a few. The blanched leaves are seasoned with fish sauce & added to tomatoes as a side dish.
“Amargoso” in Visayan and Chamorro.
Mandy always delivers.
Thanks for the receipes.
Awesome recipes,Very healthy.
bitter melon .... Foo Quah in Cantonesee......normally i stir fry it with beef and the black bean (tow ssee) ....
and also in Malaysia here, we have something called Yeong Tow Foo - a Hakka dish.. that stuffs some fish paste into the bitter gourd and lightly fry them ,,,,
Good girl.God BLESS.
Phil.we call it ampalaya in tagalog ,amargoso/ margoso in iloilo -bacolod ,goya in okinawa,jpn.and i known this as bitter gourd
Thank u for the recipes
Thank you!!! ❤
Family is Filipino, but with eggs was how my mom usually cooked it for breakfast. Of course there are the various stews, like pinakbet
Always wondered how to cook bitter melon, and you've answered that question. Many thanks! I'm going to try it. The salad with pickles looks really good, but I'll bet they're all winners. Many thanks!
I LOVE bitter melon and this gives me a lot more ideas on what to do with it!
My favorite bitter melon
I enjoy bitter melon green tea and had a pork and bitter melon soup as a breakfast in Thailand, but I haven't cooked with it yet. Excited to try some of these.
I ordered your wok and it just came in yesterday! Can't wait to get started!!
Amazing recipe
Hi Mandy, from Malaysia. Here we refer to bittergourd...and I love it! Also frequently cooked here...
I was told today by my acupuncturist to eat bitter melon and got a good laugh having seen this video pop up this morning! I was like, i already have 5 options! 😂 Thank you!
I love bitter melon! so healthy!
Thank you ❤
Watching here in Houston Texas USA. I love this bitter melon ❤
I haven’t had bitter melon soup since my Chinese housemate made some years ago; it was delicious then and this video is perfect for the simple meal ideas.
Your very smooth English with your accent is also refreshing to listen to w a few sweet quirks ;)
Very good presentation and yummy recipes
Hi Mandy!!! I never saw Bitter Mellon at my store. If I ever it I would give it a try. Your recipes look very tasty today. YUMS!!! Nice Video...🦋

I remember as a kid trying bitter melon and hating it. Lately I have been seeing it at several Asian deli’s and restaurants. Think it’s time to give it another try. Thanks for the recipes!
Vegetable my favorite very"like it
Thanks for the resepy
Woooooooow very nice 😍😋 thank you sister for sharing this video to us ❤️🌹♥️
Look very delicious
Watching and loving ur recipes from SURINAME 🇸🇷. We call bittermelon SOPROPO !
We call it Caraillie (pronounced car-Isle-Ee). Also known as bitter melon. We slice it thinly, sprinkle with salt and let it rest for about 15 minutes, then squeeze out the liquid and fry with a little oil, onion and crushed garlic. Delicious! A good side dish and said to be for treating cancer.
Bitter melon is called “amargoso” on Guam and the southern Philippines. Aside from being used to make delicious dishes, it is also used to induce vomiting due to its highly bitter taste.
I love all Ur cooking.and I love to eat bitter melon.from the philippines
Good!,,!!!!! Very good!
I love bitter lemon. I'm from Suriname and we eat it stuffed with minced meat or we cut it into small pieces with dried small shrimps or with salted beef. 👌🏽
Beautiful Chinese dress!
I loved your recipes. In Bangladesh we call it 'Usta' or 'Korolla'.We eat it as a side dish with rice.
Big size bitter melon nice 👌 👍 ❤❤

Thank you for sharing….all your recipe for bitter melon is so very healthy and delicious…GOD BLESS YOU 🙏❤️
A viewer from the Republic of Suriname, South-America, where it is called "Sopropo". I am familiar with the egg recipe and we use for stuffing groundmeat. I surely will try the other recipes. Thank you.
Bitter Melon I like it❤❤❤❤
one of the few I abhor...
Thank you for sharing these 5 scrumptious recipes using Bitter Melon or as they call it in my country: Calabaza China Bangaña, translates into: Bangaña Chinese Squash. Making the Soup recipe and the salad, especially the salad one, I think it would make a great compliment for when I eat ramen, the one cooking the ramen with veggies and 1 egg,👍and greetings 👋from Mexico.🤠
Interesting
Souped Up Recipes really out here saving all of us Chinese American kids lol
In Suriname...caraille (Indian), parih (Javanese), bitter meloen (Dutch) and Sopropo.
I hate it when I was a kid. Now I love it ;)
Just like you, I hate it when I was younger but when my mom cooks it with eggs, I eat it. Now I like anything with bitter melon. This is really good video. I will try all of it. 😊😂
Hi Mandy!!! I got one of those WOKs for a gift. I seasoned it and it is still sticking. Do you season yours evertime you use it??? I dont like that. Thats just what you do with a Iron Skillet...Please let me know how I should use this WOK. I see where you said to put oil in and swirl it around the WOK when its hot... Thank You...🦋
I found that cutting the BM into quarters instead of just halves makes it much easier to scrape out the insides.
Fried stuffed bitter melon was one of my favorite dishes back when I was an expat in Hunan-thanks for putting this recipe up!
From Philippines we call that Ampalaya
It is best food medicine for diabetics
We call it ampalaya
Also,you can try adding minced firm tofu and quartered tomato to balance on your first recipe. My favorite
Momordica charantia is a tropical and subtropical vine of the family Cucurbitaceae, widely grown in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean for its edible fruit.
Im watching from Trinidad and Tobago. Its called carraile here. Its used in many different dishes by our African population.
