Cooking Basics
Bitter melon - removing seeds and cotton
Cut the bitter melon in half lengthwise and then scrape out the seeds and cotton with a spoon.
Bitter melon - soaking in salt
Thinly slice up the bitter melon and then place into an approximately 5% salt/water solution. Gently stir and then set aside for about 10 minutes. This method is preferred to massaging salt into sliced bitter melon since the crunchiness will be preserved and a delicate salty taste will be added. Pat dry before using.
