Recipe Summary Goya Champuru (Bitter Melon Stir Fry)
This is a traditional Okinawan dish with Asian bitter melon. I was introduced to it during my time there. I've combined a few different recipes into this one here. You can also add Spam®; it's pretty popular on Okinawa. Please note that the bitter melon has a very different taste, but its very good once you get used to it. It's also ridiculously healthy.Ingredients | Is Avocado Sweet Or Bitter2 Asian bitter melon (goya)kosher salt as needed2 tablespoons sesame oil1 (1 pound) pork loin, cut into pieces1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste1 pinch garlic pepper, or to taste2 eggs1 tablespoon soy sauce, or to tasteDirectionsCut tips off melons with a sharp knife; cut in half lengthwise.
