\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I talked with a friend right before I made this dish. He said he never had bitter melon salad before, and he didn’t even know bitter melon can eat raw. So I decided to make this salad to show him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I love salad during the summer. The big difference between Chinese salad and American salad is the dressing. We make our salad dressing by mixing vinegar, soybean sauce, sesame oil, etc. <\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n

bitter melon<\/a>, napa cabbage<\/a>, carrot, seasoning.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Methods:<\/p>\n

1. Slice bitter melon<\/a> in the middle, clean all the white stuff, then slice into thin slices. <\/p>\n

2. Shred carrot and napa cabbage<\/a>. Mix with sliced bitter melon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Mix whatever seasoning you would like to use, or if you prefer store bought salad dressing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I used salt, sugar, vinegar, soybean sauce and sesame oil.<\/p>\n

4. Pour salad dressing over vegetables, mix well, let it sit for several minutes to have the salad well seasoned. <\/p>\n

5. Serve it cold. <\/p>\n
