Instructions
- First, cut 150 g Okinawan bitter melon in half lengthways and scoop out the seeds.
- Cut it into 5mm slices and place in a bowl.
- Add ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp sugar to the bowl and massage into the surface of the bitter melon. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Next, take 200 g firm tofu and wrap it with kitchen paper. Place it on a microwavable plate and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes at 600W to remove excess liquid. (No need for plastic wrap.) Leave to cool for a few minutes.
- In the meantime, fill the bowl of goya with fresh water and drain to wash.
- Once the tofu is cool enough to touch, cut it into bitesize cubes and heat a frying pan on medium.
- Once the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp cooking oil. Add the tofu and brown on each side. Once it's brown and slightly crispy on the outside, remove it from the pan and set aside for later.
- Using the same pan, add 150 g thin sliced pork belly and fry until the surface is sealed on both sides.
- Add the goya to the pan and stir fry with the pork for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the tofu back into the pan and sprinkle with 1 pinch salt and pepper. Mix together and add half of the 2 tsp soy sauce.
- In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg. Pour it into the pan and allow it to cook until half done (do not mix at this point).
- Once it's half cooked, add the other half of the soy sauce and mix thoroughly. Remove from the heat.
- Plate up and sprinkle 1 tbsp bonito flakes over the top.
- Enjoy!
