@@noahi.1381 try deep frying it, taste great but it's definitely not for everyone.

[@user-ed9qu5im2y]

Depends on how you prepare it. Ideally you want to have it fresh and not too ripe, take out all the seeds and the sort of paper-like tissue around the seeds (that's the most bitter), and the cook it the way you like it. Some people like it super well cooked, others like it just lightly cooked - also depends on the dish you're using it in. Make sure you add salt (or MSG) and have something else to go with the bitter melon. In Chinese cuisine you'd typically stir fry it with egg into an omelette or with some juicy beef strips. Some Southeast Asian cultures might put in a stew. Ideally the bitter melon comes out only slightly bitter with a hint of sweetness, and it's got a really nice texture between being firm and mushy (again depending on how you cook it). If your bitter melon was super bitter, either it wasn't prepared right, or your tongue is especially sensitive to the bitter compounds in the melon. Which is fine. It's not for everyone. But there's a chance that you just didn't have it prepared properly!

Please make more videos about different looking fruits and vegetables in the future. I feel those of us in the USA who are beginning cooks are not that well educated about produce that comes from different countries other than the ones we know in united states. But anyway, other than that, thank you for this helpful video. I learn something new every day!

a bitter melon has a texture of a boiled potato but slightly bitter? is that chef kidding? has he really tasted it before describing it? bitter melon has a crunchy texture and is extremely bitter. wth!

[@darcysimp331]

Texture wise maybe he was thinking of it when it's cooked? Lol

[@Bestname_Ever]

ton ten yeah.. it horrifyingly bitter but the texture depends on how you cooked it though.

[@yenshamay291]

@@darcysimp331 no. its texture when it's cooked is quite similar to a bell pepper. you just don't have to overcook it to retain its crunchiness.

[@mattsaburn3055]

The seeds, particularly when the fruit is overripe, are surrounded by a mildly sweet bright BRIGHT red sort of jelly like encasement. Not my favorite...they're rather shockingly colored and a bit gooey for me, but I suppose beautiful.
