Cold Bitter Melon Salad

Slice 500g of bitter melon into thin rounds, remove seeds, toss with 7g of salt, and let sit for 15 minutes.

Rinse the bitter melon thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt and pat dry to ensure moisture control.

Blanch the bitter melon in boiling water for 60 seconds, then immediately plunge into an ice bath until completely chilled.
