The Philippines is lucky to possess been fortunate with abundant varities of local vegetables that grows easily which are full of nutrients and vitamins. One of the good example is Ampalaya or bitter melon. There are varieties of this vegetable some maybe lengthy, short, very bitter or fewer bitter. And That I remember in Okinawa, Japan I sampled their in your area grown ampalaya or goya because they refer to it as but a bit not the same as those we've within the Philippines. Many people may dislike this vegetable due to its bitterness but all households their very own special technique in removing it. What's so great relating to this vegetable is the fact that studies demonstrated that they're perfect for those diabetic. For ampalaya help our physiques to create natural insulin.
Who stated that bitter can’t be great. Do this scrumptious and healty vegetable dish, very Filipino.
1/4 kilo of beef sliced thinly (you are able to replace this with hamburger or pork)
two to three big Ampalaya
3 cloves of garlic clove crushed
2 tomato plants decline in cube
some oil
half a mug of beef broth (beef bouillon dissolve in two a mug of warm water)
salt pepper
The key to cookign this dish takes from the bitterness from the ampalaya. Begin by performing into two and removing the seeds with the aid of a spoon. Slice them thinly diagonally. Boil water and pour this within the sliced ampalaya. Add one big spoonful of rock salt. Allow it to are a symbol of couple of minutes before the water has cooled lower and you may handle together with your hands the ampalaya. Squeeze off all of the water in the ampalaya together with your hands. Heat from the pan with oil adding in the garlic clove, onion and tomato plants. Stir them well add some beef just like you are stir-frying all of the ingredients. Place the ampalaya. add some water and canopy. Don't stir it for that first 5 minutes. Add some eggs beaten as an omellette. The switch off the fireplace. The eggs is going to be cooked through the heat from the vegetable. Add pepper and salt to taste. Saying has it that stirring the ampalaya throughout the cooking process (after they are added) makes this dish much more bitter. Its your decision regardless of whether you will stir it or otherwise. My advise, don't stir it, with this strategy always work with me.
