• spring onions
• chicken stock
• minced pork
• fish sauce
• dried Chinese black mushrooms
• bitter melons
• fine rice vermicelli noodles
• coriander leaves

Mrs B: “Bitter melon rightly named. A very sophisticated dish. The stuffing was a beautiful foil for the melon”

VERSION 2

As the stuffing makes about twice the quantity needed for the original dish, I I had lots of stuffing left over.

So ….. Wok fried stuffing with leftover rice. It was excellent!
