Ever since
knowing how to prevent bitter gourd from being too bitter, I started to enjoy
eating bitter gourd. This fried
bitter gourd omelette is a very easy dish to prepare and I was happy that my
hubby likes it. Even my niece enjoys
this vegetable which most young people may not fancy at all.
I should have cooked the whole portion which uses 4 eggs, then we didn't have to fight for it.

We love bittergourd... esp with omelette. So yummy!
ReplyDeleteHi Yen, this omelette is good. Slightly brown, fragrant, savoury with a little bit of bitterness from the bittergourd. This is good with rice or porridge.
ReplyDeleteHi Kimmy,
ReplyDeleteAnother one of our favourite style of eating bitter gourd! yes, having this with porridge is indeed delicious! Thanks for linking with CYB!
Kimmy, I usually fry bittergourd with egg and I love it. Next time, I should make it into an omelette.
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce, cooking bittergourd in omelette form is a good option to frying it with dried prawns and egg.
ReplyDeleteHi Phong Hong, these days I love frying bittergourd in omelette form cos' it is more fragrant and the bittergourd is just a little bitter. Tender bittergourd and crispy omelette also encourage children to eat this vegetable.
