Bitter gourd or ampalaya is one of the best vegetables locally grown. It is a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants.

I have been looking for alternative food products that can replace meat. One of these is Quorn, which is meat-free and is made up of mycoproteins.

Using a part of this Quorn Meat-free grounds, I cooked this together with ampalaya or bitter gourd.

Ingredients:

* two medium tomatoes, diced
* 3-4 garlic cloves, diced
* one small onion, diced
* 1/4 cup of Quorn meat-free grounds
* 1T oyster sauce
* 1 1/2 cups of ampalaya, cut in strips
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 1 egg, beaten

Procedure:
1. Sauté the first three ingredients with a little oil.
2. Add the meat-free grounds and cook for a few minutes. Add a little water at a time to avoid getting too dry.
3. Add the ampalaya, cover with a lid and cook for a few minutes.
4. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Add the beaten egg when the ampalaya is cooked. Mix well to have the egg scattered.
6. Serve warm.

  Slowcooked Mongo Beans I am not a fan of mongo beans as a child. I didn’t exactly like the texture of the beans even if cooked fine and tasting good. As a mom, I can not recall serving this dish at home except for a few times. Last week made me get a small pack […] [ ... ]

  Homemade snacks are the best for us because we put extra effort in prepping the food and we know what ingredients were used. The photo above was a late lunch/early mid-afternoon snacks that the children and I just shared. The ones in the square plate are turon or banana fritters. To prep turon, here [ ... ]
