Ah Huat's Bittergourd Soup 苦盅作乐！

Bittergourd soup reduces 'heatiness' and detoxifies the body. Surely a treat after a long day at work!

You'll need:

• Bittergourd, 1 Ea (about 15cm long)
• Pork Ribs, 100g
• Minced meat, 100g
• Red dates, 4 Ea

What to do:

1. Prepare a pot of water (approx. 500ml). Bring it to a boil
2. Cut the red dates into half and remove the seeds inside.
3. Marinate the minced meat with sesame oil, pepper and light soy sauce.
4. Wash and Cut the bitter gourd into segments to your liking. I prefer about 5cm each. Clean out the insides!
5. Fill the bitter gourd with the minced meat.
6. Once the water boils, put in the red dates and pork ribs. Bring it to a boil again.
7. Once the water boils again, put in the bitter gourd, and bring it to a boil.
8. Switch to small flame when the water boils again.
9. Cook the bitter gourd until it softens (normally this will turn the bitter gourd to dark green).
10. Add salt to taste and serve!

Enjoy!!

Huat ah!
