I cannot tell you how many times over the years I bought one but always failed to cook with it and only to see it turned moldy. This time is different. I made a point of cooking with it the same day I came home with one. I stuff it with minced pork.
hollow out the seeds and the stuff at the center with a thai SS spoon
i added some sun dried shrimps for texture and flavor
a bit of thai chilli for heat and thai basil for fragrance
a few dash of thai fish sauce and small pinch of sugar for seasoning
stuffing is as easy as pie
and yes, the bitter melon flesh is truly bitter - just keep telling yourself it detox your body
while the gourd is bitter it tastes clean and light and gives a very sharp contrast to the rich minced pork
