Hmm...The bitter gourd omelette. This is one dish I discover recently that my family would eat it even though bitter gourd could be too bitter for children. :) My younger boy still couldn't accept the bitterness but my older child loves it. So this has added into my dish options when I feel like adding an omelette as one of the dishes for dinner.
The ingredients needed:-
Group 1
100-110g bitter gourd, thinly sliced (1-2mm per slice)
1 tbsp cooking oil
1- 1.5 tsp minced garlic
Thinly sliced bitter gourd (1-2mm per slice)
Group 2
4 large eggs
0.25 tsp salt
(Note: You can add slightly more salt than 0.25tsp but not 0.5 tsp or 1 tsp. Else, it will be too salty)
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1-2 dashes of white pepper
little chicken stock granules (optional)
** In a bowl, mix in all the group 2 ingredients and beat the eggs mixture until well combined.
Steps:-
1) Heat up the cooking oil and saute the minced garlic until aromatic.
2) Add in the bitter gourd and salt. Stir fry them until the bitter gourd is slightly soft.
3) Remove from heat and combine the bitter gourd with the eggs mixture (i.e. group 2 ingredients).Mix well.
4) Heat up the wok again with about 3 tbsp of oil, medium heat.
5) Pour in some mixture from (3), gently spread the bitter gourd evenly around the omelette and fry the bitter gourd omelette until set. Turn it over to the other side of the omelette and continue to fry omelette until it turns golden brown.
6) Dish up the bitter gourd in a serving plate. Repeat steps 5-6 until all balance mixtures are used.
7) Serve warm with rice.
