Instructions

1 Clean and cut the bitter melon into 2" thick rings. Scoop out the seeds and
discard the foamy parts.

(To stuff a whole bitter melon: cut a rectangular hole and remove all the seeds,
then stuff)
2 Mix together ground pork with all the seasoning- soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch,
white pepper. Keep stirring hard until the mixture is sticky, pick up the ball
of ground pork and throw it back into the mixing bowl to help fast-track the
process.

The mixture should be dough-like when it's done.
3 Add the remaining ingredients for the pork mixture and mix well.
4 Stuff the pork mixture into the rings.
5 Place on a plate and steam on high for 15 minutes or until the meat is cooked.

(Some also like stuffed bitter melon in a clear broth soup. To do that, add
these stuffed babies to chicken broth and boil until the meat is cooked.)
6 Serve!
