CW food photo. Made beef with bitter melon (I’d been putting it off for days based on complexity which really, it isn’t). And that’s the last project this weekend!

@frost it was! The bitter melon is actually bitter, but it really *does* kinda balance and wind up being a really nice flavor with the beef and the sauce.
@Leucrotta Ooh, nice!
@Leucrotta Looks great!
@Tuftears it was pretty darn good!
@Leucrotta Haven't cooked with bitter melon before. How is it?
@Kusimanse my recipe had me scrape out all the white parts, boil with some baking soda then blanche with cold water before pan frying. It’s bitter (as expected) but the flavor balanced with beef and sauce. But I think it may have contributed to last night’s sleeplessness?
@Leucrotta Hmmm! I see.
@Leucrotta belon :3
[Frost /why/]
because it's what popped into my head >,,>
more seriously, that looks really good!
