Found beef burger and onion on sale and beef burger will expire in 3 days. I couldn’t find burger buns. Change my plan to cooking rice to go with beef burger. My eyes caught the bitter gourd on sale too. So, I bought it to cooked with my leftover eggs.

Google: “Bitter melon — also known as bitter gourd or Momordica charantia — is a tropical vine that belongs to the gourd family and is closely related to zucchini, squash, pumpkin, and cucumber. It’s cultivated around the world for its edible fruit, which is considered a staple in many types of Asian cuisine. The Chinese variety is typically long, pale green, and covered with wart-like bumps. On the other hand, the Indian variety is more narrow and has pointed ends with rough, jagged spikes on the rind. In addition to its sharp flavour and distinct appearance, bitter melon has been associated with several impressive health benefits.”

“Bitter melon is especially rich in vitamin C, an important micronutrient involved in disease prevention, bone formation, and wound healing. It’s also high in vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin that promotes skin health and proper vision. It provides folate, which is essential for growth and development, as well as smaller amounts of potassium, zinc, and iron. Bitter melon is a good source of catechin, gallic acid, epicatechin, and chlorogenic acid, too — powerful antioxidant compounds that can help protect your cells against damage.”

Google: “A bought beef burger is a patty made from ground beef that’s been cut into small pieces, formed into a flat shape, and cooked. They’re often served in a bread roll.” I like to create so I am adding beef burgers with peas and onion and serving it along with bitter gourd eggs.
