I started eating bitter melon after reading that it's one of the factors that contributes to the longevity of Okinawans. I salt them and marinate them in garam masala, turmeric, lemon, and chili powder. I bake them for about half an hour. It's really tasty. I'll have to try making a veggie version of goya champuru. Thanks so much, Nami-san!
Great! Now I learn a new bitter melon dish. We only stuffed the Goya with minced meat and steamed it or cook it as soup. I will definitely try to cook this dish.
I love bitter melon! We usually serve it with beef and black bean in garlic sauce with gravy. It would be interesting to try this gravy with your pork belly and tofu! Also, if you blanch the cut and cleaned bitter melon in boiling water for about 1-2 minutes and drain the water, this can also reduce bitterness of the gourd.
I have not used this recipi yet .Looking forward to making it .Can I ask ,Does it taste bitter in the recipi or does it take away from the bitter taste ? I'm sure it will be delicious. Thank you for posting
I like the new format for the video, it's nice to see you cook vs just looking at the food being made :) Though saying that, I wouldn't mind seeing both formats on your channel ^^
+Testbe Art Aww thank you! I personally like just my hands only... but it gets boring to have same style all the time so we try to change up a bit. I can't just wake up and shoot in PJ anymore 🤣
I don't like bitter melon since when I was little. Haven't eat them for years already. But after watching your video, you made me want to give it a second chance! This dish looks delicious! I am sure everything tastes better with bacon too. 😁 Thank you for sharing.
If you ever give a bitter melon another chance, I highly recommend this dish. Make sure each ingredient gets nice char to add extra delicious flavors! :) Hope you enjoy this dish with your family!
If you would like to lessen the bitter taste, before cooking, follow the instructions below. 1) Cut open the Bitter Melon, discard the seeds and slice into 1/4 inch thickness. 2) Sprinkle some salt and mixed well, cover with a kitchen towel and set aside for about 10 minutes. 3) After 10 minutes using your hands squeezed out as much juice as you would like. 4) You can now cook and enjoy Bitter Melon!
Thank you for making this video!!!, I always wanted to make this after I had it at my obaachama’s house years ago. You always make everything very beautiful and delicious. You have my dream kitchen! I want to get something you used in this video, where did you get those white container trays you used for tofu and goya?
Now I've watched the video, thumbs up. Interesting technique of cooking the ingredients all separate - keeps the shape and color. I always cook pork first so the oil is released for the following ingredients. And I use thick pork belly because I cant admit to liking Spam!
Thank you! I tried with different orders. I like to make sure tofu gets nice char, so I spend time cooking that first. The pork oil (yes!) stays in to coat everything back in the pan at the end. :) I debated to try spam but it's a bit salty for my kids so I usually cook with pork belly and make it crispy and delicious. :)
Yep I'm going to do that with the tofu as I don't like it all mushy at the end. Plus if I do it this way I can prep the ingredients before hand and have this for breakfast rather than an English fried breakfast (>-
Ahahaha! Thank you for your kind compliment. Compared to when I started making my videos for RUclips (almost 4 years ago), my hands definitely look aging. LOL.
Hi Nami, as it turns out, my Asian supermarket where I frequent had NO goya today!! I was SOOOOOO disappointed!! So, I will try again next week to see if they get any into stock. I'm very sure it will be a successful dish when I do make it! I will let you know how it goes.
Now it is bitter melon season in China too. Though they are fresh and available everywhere, I seldom cook them because of the bitter taste. This looks interesting.

Ohhh In the Philippines, we call it “Ginisang Ampalaya” hehe. We also put salt in ampalaya to reduce bitterness.
It was my first time trying goya and it was absolutely delicious! Great recipe and amazing taste with few simple ingredients!!!

very excited recipe..
one question... except bitter melon... what else can i use????
Thank you for making this video!!!, I always wanted to make this after I had it at my obaachama’s house years ago. You always make everything very beautiful and delicious. You have my dream kitchen! I want to get something you used in this video, where did you get those white container trays you used for tofu and goya?
Thank you for your kind words! The white tray is enamel (not dishwasher safe) and it's actually a painting supply... amzn.to/2xtYEDY
this is my family dish. we always eat in dinner but we use thai goya. it,s more bitter. we can reduce bitterness by salt.
thanks
Thanks for watching my video! I would love to try Thai goya. :)
Hi Naomi, where can I get those white quarter trays? Many Thanks! Happy Easter 🐣
Now I've watched the video, thumbs up. Interesting technique of cooking the ingredients all separate - keeps the shape and color. I always cook pork first so the oil is released for the following ingredients. And I use thick pork belly because I cant admit to liking Spam!

I have not had goya yet, but I want to try it! I hope I can make this recipe soon. Thank you so much for your videos. :-)
Hope you enjoy, Erin! xoxo
Can't decide on what I think is more beautiful - Namiko's hands or this amazing tofu *-*
hello yoshikage kira
Ahahaha! Thank you for your kind compliment. Compared to when I started making my videos for RUclips (almost 4 years ago), my hands definitely look aging. LOL.
I never liked bitter melon until I tried Goya Champuru
I think my kids will agree with you! :)
Almost everyone hate healthy food, until they get diabetes.
That dish looks super yummy! Does salting the bitter melon remove a bit of the bitterness by the way?
+Wunlee Buxton Yes that's correct!
Thanks Nami! I will try this recipe today!! p.s. your accent is so cute!
Haha thank you so much. :) Hope you enjoy this recipe!

I like bitter Melon simply stir fried with julienned potatoes, onions, garlic, turmeric and bit of cumin. Served over rice.
YUM!!!!! Sounds so good!!!
I will make it soon on monday after work i have everything the ingredients execpt for tofu i can skip pork and bonito flakes as i am veg Thanks Ramya
Hope you enjoy! :)
Looks so good 😊 I love bitter gourd ❤️
Thank you!
I love this dish! Except I don’t use salt at all. Too much sodium. Just the soy sauce is good enough to make it salty. Yummy!
I'm liking this before I have seen the video as I luuurve this dish, oh and I'm sure you will rock it.
Thank you for your kind words. :)
Thank you for making this video! I love goya champuru!!
+skylychee Hope you enjoy this recipe!
I've never had bitter melon, but I'd give this a try. Also, what can be used instead of tofu for this dish?
You can skip tofu if you don't like it. :) Hope you enjoy this dish!
In Malaysia we do Sambal Goya with dried anchovies a.k.a ikan bilis or fresh shrimp ! 😉😉
Sounds really delicious!
June O And fried them with garlic,egg,and soy sauce..
Woww I love your new style of making video ❤
Thank you! Next one is latest style (but we still have older videos)... :)
Now it is bitter melon season in China too. Though they are fresh and available everywhere, I seldom cook them because of the bitter taste. This looks interesting.
This one is pretty delicious compared to other bitter melon dishes we tried. My kids are okay with this one but not others... :)

Domo~. I just made it.
Hi Nami, where did you get your non-stick frying pan in this video? I checked your blog and didn't see it.
Hi Shuyu! This one is a bigger flying pan - T-fall: amzn.to/2yyHXYm
Oops T-fal
Just One Cookbook Thank you Nami! I have been watching your your channel for a few years and I enjoy it!
Shuyu Peng Thank you so much!! ❤️
I see you have change the style of your video...thumbs up
Thanks. Actually this one is same, but next one is slightly different. Stay tuned... :)
Just cooked goya champ
Makes me think of the anime, Samurai Champloo; given one if the main character is Okinawan, Mugen.
where can i find the white enamel trays that are used in this video? Thanks!
You can buy on Amazon: amzn.to/2xtYEDY
In indonesia we call it pare tumis
No beansprouts?
gahhhh bitter melon!!!!! it's so...bitter!! I love the video anyway c:
Hahahahaha! Thank you! :)
I always eat this cooked with sesame oil.
Call me crazy, I’d like to try this with butter instead of vegetable oil and finished with a light grating of cheese
I loooove your accent
I can't get rid of it.... was it bad? xD
Just One Cookbook no no, it wasn't bad at all
Haha thank you!!
my extremely fat conscious family refuses to eat pork belly. I suppose I could substitute turkey bacon for the pork component?
Sure you can do that. :)
Goya also call pare in Indonesia 🇮🇩
geez i watched 5 different videos of 5 different ways to making goya champuru
