「素食」干煸双色苦瓜 |【Vegan】Bitter Melon Stir Fried

📒Many people don't like bitter melon. For me, bitter melon is a unique vegetable in summer. Without it, I will always feel that something is missing. With a little treatment, bitter melon will taste delicious. Give this a try!
很多人不喜欢苦瓜，其实苦瓜属于夏天一个独特的存在，少了它总会觉得缺少了什么，其实苦味也属于五味中的一味，其实稍加处理，苦瓜会吃得有滋有味，试试这个做法吧！

📒I used two types of bitter melon, white and green. Below are the differences.
视频中用了白绿两种苦瓜，这两种苦瓜有什么区别：

1. Texture: The biggest difference between the two is the texture. Green bitter melon is more crunchy and chewy, and white bitter melon is softer. The textures of the two complement each other. Btw, white bitter melon is very suitable for stew.
1.口感：它俩区别最大的是口感，绿苦瓜相对于白苦瓜会更脆更有嚼劲，白苦瓜口感相对来说会更绵软，两者搭配口感互补，如果用来做炖菜白苦瓜非常适合的。

2. Tastes: The actual bitterness is not much different. The white bitter melon is slightly lighter, and the aftertaste of the white bitter melon is somehow sweet.
2.味道：实际的苦味相差不大，白苦瓜略淡一点点，白苦瓜的回味回甘会更好一点。有条件可以配合使用，也可以只选用绿色。

📒Ingredients/食材：

苦瓜 350g Bitter Melon
宜宾芽菜 2大匙 2 Tbsp Yibin Yacai
香菇 1朵 1 Shiitake Mushroom
海盐 适量 Sea Salt
姜丝 6g Sliced Ginger
橄榄油 适量 Olive Oil

📒Tips:

1.Yibin Yacai and bitter melon are a very good pair. It provides the salty and umami taste to this dish. You can use Meigancai if Yibin Yacai is unavailable.
宜宾芽菜和苦瓜真的非常搭，提供很好的咸鲜味，非常下饭。实在没有可以用梅干菜泡发后代替。

2. It is necessary to season it with salt at first, and remove the water. Here is WHY:
苦瓜一定要腌制杀水，这样做的好处：

A. Shorten the cooking time, so it's still green when it's ready.
能缩短烹饪时间，更快出锅保持颜色翠绿。

B. Salt will remove water from bitter melon, so when stir fried, the dish will keep its crunchiness.
过多的水分会导致苦瓜回软没有了脆脆的口感 。

C. Greatly reduce the bitterness
能很大程度的减少苦瓜的苦味。

3.Adding Shiitake mushroom can add natural umami to this dish.
加一朵香菇可以提供天然的鲜味。

4.Don't put too much oil, otherwise the dish will be greasy
油不宜过多，否则达不到干煸的效果，苦瓜也不够清爽.
