Bitter Melon (Muop Dang- Kho Qua)

Description

Through the name, we could certainly image how it tastes. However, the rough surface and the bitter flavor are unable to prevent Vietnamese from enjoying this veggie. So, just try it and find your answer. Chopped bitter melon is often stir-fried with eggs, but the most favorite dish could be bitter melon soup, integral part of the menu for the summer in the south. This specialty is taken into Tet holiday menu as it is Vietnamese firm belief that sadness will pass and the happiness will come over after bitterness has been eaten.
