Soup Noodle with Stuffed Bitter Gourd

The start of my lonely days... so, the amount is just for me alone....

Bought a piece of bitter gourd and instead of just frying it like that, I googled for some innovative way of cooking it. The normal recipe called for stuff fish or prawn paste, but since I dont have any supply of any, I used minced pork instead.

Ingredients:

• Half a bitter gourd, cut sideway one inch thick, removed the middle part and rub with salt. Leave for 10mins.
• 2 tablespoons of minced meat, marinate with a pinch of salt, pepper, 1 teaspoon of sweet yellow bean paste, 1 teaspoon soy sauce and 2 teaspoons of corn flour.
• 1.5 cup of water
• 1 piece of dry noodle (pre cooked lightly with boiling water)
• 2 teaspoon of miso paste
• 2 slices of tamarind
• one bunch of vege (any type that you like)
• one small egg
• 1 teaspoon of fried garlic
• a little oil for frying

1. Washed of the salt from the bitter gourd. Stuffed the minced meat in the bitter gourd.
2. Heat up the oil and fry both side of the meat stuffed in bitter gourd.
3. Add in water after both side of the meat on the bitter gourd is golden brown. Add in tamarind and leave water to boil for about 2 mins.
4. Add in miso paste and stir till even. Then add in vege.
5. Add the noodle and hit the egg on top of the noodle. Leave it to boil for a min (or till egg is cook).
6. Done, served (remove the tamarind before serving).
