The Bitter Gourd Convert

I was recently introduced to Okinawan food when a friend brought me to En Japanese Dining Bar at Causeway Bay. Found some similarities between Okinawan food and Chinese food, e.g. the stir-fry method is commonly used and pork seems to be a staple in the Okinawan diet. Love this dish.... Stir-fried bittergourd with egg, tofu and pork..... From what I read, the Okinawan bitter-gourd is a great anti-oxidant. At some point, I will need to learn to cook this at home to save on the monthly trips to Causeway Bay just to eat this, and enjoy the detoxing benefits more...
