Foe Kwa, also called bitter melon, is a green, bumpy vegetable with a characteristic bitter taste. It is popular in Asian cuisines—especially in Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese dishes—where it adds an exciting depth to both meat and vegetarian dishes.
Preparation: Cut the fruit lengthwise, remove the white seeds, and slice it. For a milder flavor, sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10–15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. It can be quickly stir-fried in a wok with garlic and egg, cooked in soups with chicken or beef, or stuffed with minced meat and steamed.
Foe Kwa is rich in nutrients and is also traditionally used in healthy diets, especially for its ability to balance flavors and stimulate the appetite.
An excellent choice for anyone looking to experiment with new and authentic Asian flavor experiences.
