How I Eat Bitter Melon and Like It

First, pick out small, firm bitter melons at the market—they’re less bitter and taste way better. If you spot any with a hint of orange or yellow, grab those too because they’re milder. Store them in the fridge for up to 5 days. When you’re ready, wash the melon, slice it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds and pith. Cut into thin half-moons. Sprinkle salt on the slices and let them sit for 10 minutes. This step really helps mellow out the bitterness. For a quick stir fry, heat oil in a wok, toss in chopped garlic and onion, then add the melon. Stir fry for a couple of minutes, then pour in beaten eggs. Cook until the eggs are set, season with salt, and serve with rice. If you’re not into stir fry, blend the melon with mango or pomegranate for a smoothie, or try it as a tea.
