bitter gourd on process
This post is a contribution for the #fff aka @foodfightfriday week 69 ๐๐๐ and on behalf of my wife who prepared the meals and the pictures๐
Saleum eSTEeMiANs๐
I've been not posting anything for the food fight friday for a month, my wife told me to create one and she'd prepared the materials. She's still does her cooking experiment everyday, but because she only uses her phone to read webtoons, food pictures are something rare to find on her phone lately.
Few days ago I asked her to make the papaya's flower stir-fry, but the vegetable seller, Kang Jawir said he couldn't find the flowers anywhere. My wife doesn't likes the taste of bitter veggies though, but she bought the bitter gourd for me and cooked it for the first time in her life๐๐ see... she experienced many "first time in her life" while she lives with me๐
Enough of that rumbling around Dipo! Where's the food?
simply bitter gourd stir-fry by @cicisaja
She told me that Kang Jawir only has the too mature bitter gourd which mean it's bitter than bitter ๐ she tried to reduce the bitter taste by squeezing the sliced bitter gourd with salt and then boils it for 2 minutes in apple vinegar's water. The bitterness still there but it's edible!
She prepared the shallot, garlic, carrots, tomato and red chili then toss it for few minutes before she add the boiled bitter gourd, stir it up for couple of minutes, adding the sugar instead of salt and done!
okay, we need the peanut's sauce to help my toothless father enjoy the soft bitter gourd too๐
Actually it was the ready to use peanut's sauce which we can buy it at the vegetable sellers or any groceries around. It's made from roasted peanuts, palm sugar, onion, garlic, salt, cayenne, corriander and Kencur๐ I forgot the name in english๐.
All you need to do is pour some hot water on the solid sauce and mix it well, no need to add other things but fried onion would be fine. This sauce is a multipurpise one, you can use it for salad dressing or pour it on noodles like bolognese sauce, dip your satay in it ...anything goes with the veggies, fruit or meat, it's up to you.
our bitter sweet salty meals, bitter gourd stir-fry, fried silk tofu,peanut's sauce, chicken nugget for my toothless father and fried salted anchovies in hot chilli sauce for me๐
Where's the sweet things?

BEER.Hey @dipoabasch, here is a little bit of
BEERfrom @foodfightfriday for you. Enjoy it!Hi @cicisaja, hi @dipoabasch! Itโs good to see you two in the food fight ring. Cici is a master in the kitchen so Iโm not surprised she can whip out a butter veggie sheโs never made before. Dandays and I will take a plate over here please. I think I love peanut sauce on anything ๐
I love that peanut sauce too @puravidaville because it's available at the market๐ ... nice to see you around ๐
Even better when you donโt have to make it yourself. Itโs nice to be seen Cici ๐
I still need to get some of this to try! I'll try just about any vegetable at least once, but I don't usually mind bitter flavors. I'm sure it's really good with the peanut sauce. :)
It is @puravidaville because I like all the bitter veggies that my wife cooked for me.. and all she does only by my request only because she loves only the fried anchovies in chili paste a lot๐
Very nice post @dipoabasch, so cool you and @cicsaja hang out in the kitchen together. @thebigsweed and I cook together quite often, now that there's #fff.
Thanks @farm-mom ๐ actually she's the one who mess up in the kitchen, my role is cleaning the dishes
It's only fair, if you cook you don't clean. Full stop!
Saleum!
Ahhh, yes, peanut sauce! Man I havenโt had any for a long time, I almost forgot about it. iheart peanut sauce on shrimp skewers.
Iโm glad you made it by @dipoabasch, itโs nice to see you again. Good luck this week, sir! Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Thank you, @cicisaja. ๐๐ฟ
Thank you @dandays.. the peanut's sauce really helps my father to enjoy the bitter gourd ๐ I heard from cici that you're having fun in Yunani now...
It wouldnโt be the same without you, @dipoabasch.
