% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


If you are a fan of Bittergourd 苦瓜 like me, you will relish this dish. This is a nutritious, easy to cook Chinese dish which you can easily prepare at home using ‘sections of bittergourd stuffed with seasoned minced pork. The gourd will be soft after steaming but it is still firm in texture and there’s the juicy broth for you to go with rice.
