Stir-Fried Bitter Melon and Eggs Recipe

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the wok or skillet over medium. Add the melon and garlic at the same time, along with a pinch of salt. Stir for 1 minute, being careful not to burn or brown the garlic, until the melon is just starting to soften. Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon pepper and the water and stir as it comes to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has almost all evaporated and the melon is tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Return the eggs to the pan and stir to combine. Taste and add salt if desired. Serve immediately over rice.
