one of my favorite ways to cook bitter melon is making soup. having soybean in it is such a classic.
i really want a big bowl now.

Queenie – The ribs add a lot of flavour to the soup. I add rice vermicelli or a small amount of rice to it for a heftier meal. If I’m more elaborate (i.e. using more than one vessel), I would dip the ribs in soy sauce and white pepper.

wow – i have not had bitter melon soup with the combination you have written of, and i’ll definitely try it! i’ve not had friends use tomato and soy bean, but i am trusting you/your mother-in-law on this one! oh, and we tried the bitter melon with egg you posted a while back, and it’s one of our favourites for dinner now! i would say……a bi-weekly occurrence!

I ate a lot of bitter melon growing up in a Chinese family but haven’t had it forever now! I remember loving it in soups and also stir-fried with bamboo shoots and sliced pork. My mom also loved to use winter melon, which I find tastes similar to bitter melon but not as bitter. Great recipe!

You’re *behind* on your posts? Okay Allen! ;)
That is fascinating. So, the ribs ended up quite tender? It was hot when you opened it? (I admit, kind of dumb question…) I can’t believe you buy bitter gourd weekly. You’re such a grown-up! My tongue still can’t handle it! :)
