Bitter gourd with eggs stir-fry recipe (with salted egg yolk) 咸蛋黄炒苦瓜

Some people, especially children, may find bitter gourd unappealing due to its bitterness. I didn't enjoy it when I was younger, but as I tried more diverse flavors and dishes as an adult, I began to appreciate it more, especially when paired with certain ingredients. One dish that has become a favorite of mine is bitter gourd stir-fried with salted egg yolks. This simple yet flavorful dish only requires two main ingredients- bitter gourd and eggs.
This is a typical Cantonese-style everyday food for an average family. It may not be available at the Chinese restaurant near you, but it is worth trying.

This dish is normally fried with eggs, not Salted egg yolks. Of course salted eggs have been used in some other Chinese recipes like our Cantonese Sam Wong Tan but using salted egg yolks for everything became trendy only in recent years. Hope u dont mind my feedback on what I know about this recipe. Anyway, thank you for sharing. 6:05
