　　 How to Make Lychee Simmered Bitter Gourd:

 Soak the lychees in salt water, wash them clean, and air dry.  Halve the bitter gourds, wash them clean, and air dry.  Use a spoon to remove the seeds.  This is a seed-free bitter gourd.  Cut half of the bitter gourds into two halves.  The shape doesn't matter as long as it's not too large.  As shown in the picture.  Place one layer of bitter gourds in the cooking pot.  Then add the lychees.  Add another layer of bitter gourds (you can place the lychees at the bottom and the bitter gourds on top as per your preference).  Finally, add granulated sugar or rock sugar.  Bring to a boil over high heat.  The soup has already come to a boil.  Switch to low-medium heat and simmer slowly, do not stir.Stirring would cause the seeds and flesh to separate.Continue simmering until the liquid reduces significantly, approximately four hours.  Cooking Tip:

Do not stir during cooking~ First recipe sharing!
