My grandma made a lot of dishes with bitter gourd. I know it's not popular, but I really love stir fried eggs with bitter gourd or bitter gourd with tofu. I don't eat much beef, so I hope I can use other proteins if that's okay. Thank you Chef! Love your food! They remind me of my grandma's homecooking

[@HAPPYWOK]

fried eggs with bitter gourd or bitter gourd with tofu Sounds great! Thanks for watching.

I haven't watched the video yet, but when I saw the fermented black beans during the introduction of the ingredients I knew then this is an authentic Cantonese beef with bitter gourds dishes. The Cantonese fermented black beans are the main ingredient that perfumes the dishes so delicious. 👍👍👍 I have finished watching the video and this is what I called authentic Cantonese cooking, what's more, beef with bitter gourds is a Cantonese dish. Thank you for sharing, my friend.

[@HAPPYWOK]

Yes, we cantonese used salted fermented black beans very often in our daily cooking. Specially when making steam pork short ribs. They gave and add unique tasty to food. Thanks for watching. BTW, check my other videos that uses fermented black beans.

[@ziyanglee7950]

@@HAPPYWOK well done! I certainly will check out the video and thank you for sharing, friends.

[@HAPPYWOK]

@@ziyanglee7950 : Please do. Thanks again.

[@metalandy]

Hey Chef. This looks good. Is it the same as bitter melon? Since it is bitter, do you recommend adding sugar on it before stir frying? Thanks again.

[@HAPPYWOK]

Yes , that is another word for this gourd. Just follow my cooking video. And If you like to diminish some bitterness taste, you can rub plenty of salt to inner part of it after cutting out the core. Rinse with running water after an hour. Then drain to dry before using. Thanks for asking. Thanks for watching.

[@capdriving]

great video, , i can us blck bean or use eggs and tomatoo for amplaya PI style

[@HAPPYWOK]

Yes..you can.thanks for asking.

[@gourav007ify]

Sir what is alternative of black beans shoud black bean paste be used instead of fermented beans...

[@HAPPYWOK]

That will also work but the beauty of having some black particles on the food is not present. I personally like the solid fermented black beans. Thanks for asking . Thanks for watching.

[@liuxuanyi9007]

What kind of beef do you recommend chef? My first time making this dish. Thank you (*^__^*)

[@HAPPYWOK]
