Cut the bitter gourd: After cutting the bitter gourd into pieces, use a small knife to remove the white pith, as the white pith is where the bitterness originates.

2. Blanching Bitter Gourd: Blanch bitter gourd in boiling water to reduce some of the bitterness. Add a little salt to the water to make the bitter gourd color bright green, but be sure not to overcook; just half a minute is sufficient to maintain its crisp and tender texture. Quickly cool the blanched bitter gourd to ensure it has a clear and non-bitter taste.
