Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 oz thinly sliced pork loin and sauté for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove pork and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 1 medium bitter melon thinly sliced. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened and slightly browned.
  3. Step 3: Gently add 7 oz firm tofu cubes and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tofu edges turn golden.
  4. Step 4: Return the pork to the skillet, then pour in 3 beaten eggs, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes until eggs are softly scrambled and coat the ingredients.
  5. Step 5: Season with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Remove from heat and sprinkle 1/4 cup bonito flakes over the top before serving.
