This is an update on our Chinese vegetarian cooking. The following two dishes were created by Xiao Feng.
The first dish (pictured above) is a sweet and sour "bitter melon" dish. Ingredients included are bitter melon, red pepper, sugar, salt and vinegar. A nice simple dish.
The above dish is called "di san xian." Ingredients included are: eggplant, green pepper, potato, garlic, salt and soy sauce.
And here are both of the dishes pictured together!
Should you have any questions about how the dishes were prepared or should you be interested in enrolling in our school of culinary arts please leave a comment. :)

What is the texture of the bitter melon like?
Let me put it like this. Have you ever bitten down on a splintery picnic table?
It's nothing like that.
The texture is quite smooth, and often times because the way that the kugua is cooked (still left fairly raw) it is quite firm. In it's raw state the kugua has it's maximum potential for it's trademark bitter taste and nutrition value.
I'm trying to think of something to compare it to but nothing comes to mind! You'll have to try it when you come to ours for cooking sometime. :)
