Thank you for sharing this recipe! My mom cooked it for me as a child and this version brings back great memories.

Hi, I've had this before in the Philippines, but my girl friend made it with Onion, Minced Garlic, Pork Sausage, a little bit of Bacon and eggs over rice. It was so good I want to make it again. I forgot all about this dish until I seen the Bitter Melon in the store.

In reply to Joycelyn J.. I love Chinese sausages! I use them all the time in my stir-fry veggies; I like the sweet and savory flavor they add to the dish. But, I haven't tried them with ampalaya.

In reply to Melanie De Leon. Yes, I agree. More specific measurements such as cups or ounces instead of 1 piece tomato etc would make for more accurate recipes, but regular home cooks usually don't usually measure. Like when I cook at home for my family, I'll use one onion or two cloves of garlic etc, and won't use a measuring cup or tablespoon.

No bitterness @ all , followed your instructions to the T . This is my first time to cook ampalaya without putting it in hot water or mashing it with salt . Excellent , my husband who is not into this dish was impressed

I am a big fan of your recipes but I wish you could quantify in cups or oz. the ingredients because the size of produce here can vary. God bless and more power!

I love this recipe! As a kid, the word 'ampalaya' would have me and my sister in tears and full of impending doom over our next meal. This recipe has changed that experience and I appreciate the helpful hints for minimizing the bitterness. Although it may negate some of the nutritional value of the dish, I'm curious to try it with a bit of chopped lap-xuong (Chinese-style) sausage added to the mix. Thanks for sharing! I'm excited to try out more of your recipes! 🙂
