hi riders,

welcome (back?) to my cookbook. today, i am going to show you how to make stir fried bitter melon with egg.  In the Philippines we call it ampalaya. bitter melon can be overpowering, but that doesn't mean it cannot be as delicious as many other vegetables. this type of dish is normally served during breakfast, it is so good with rice!  as we filipinos, we always have rice with every meal, but you can also enjoy this dish without rice. it is just as good.

so, here are the list of what you will need to enjoy it. good luck and let me know if you end up making this dish. :)

ingredients:

• 1/2 portion of bitter melon (ampalaya)
• 3 eggs (you can use as many, or less, up to you)
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/8 cup sliced onion
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 pieces scallions
• salt and pepper to taste

directions:

please refer to the video for the complete directions on how to make this dish. thank you all so much for coming back and i really really appreciate you all! love!

hey riders!

in this episode in cook with sai borg, i am going to show you how to make adobong gulay (vegetables with vinegar and soy sauce). this is is a little similar to pork adobo (adobong baboy), except we don't put meat on this dish. it is purely vegetarian friendly and so good. you can make this dish on your preferred vegetables. i used squash, bitter melon, eggplant and bok choy in this dish, not only these vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals, they are also the vegetables we used to grow in our backyard growing up, so it kind of reminds me of home. :) below are the list of ingredients. enjoy!

ingredients:

• 2 pcs bok choy
• 1 pc eggplant
• 1/2 of a whole bitter melon
• 1/2 sliced squash
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1/4 sliced of a whole onion
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

you will also need:

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 1 cup water

salt (which i actually didn't have to use it because of the soy sauce i used) and pepper to taste.

please refer to the video for instructions :)

hope you guys will love this dish, and if you end up making it, please tag me on facebook or instagram, i'd love to see your dish! :) thank you again for the support and until next time. :)
