Bitter Melon & Pork Rib Soup Recipe

Bitter Melon soup was always a Taiwanese staple soup growing up. The soup is slow simmered with pork bones to give it a nice clear broth while the bitter melon, gives it a slightly herbal flavor. In this video, I've taken Grandma's stovetop recipe and modified it for my Instant Pot mini duo. ♥ Subscribe for more of Angel's videos → bit.ly/1HbtZaI (continued . . . )

[@grace6855]

i never liked bitter melon but i love soup. i cant wait to make this today! i never cooked it before - thank you so much for the thorough steps!

[@Derlei]

I immediately liked this and hopefully come back to this video soon to make some delicious pork rib soup

[@kenzhang-hokkien8640]

I didn't like this when I was a kid. Now, I can't wait to try this recipe. Going to the market this week to make this. Thanks for the video! Love your style!

[@angelwongskitchen]

lol it’s funny how tastes change over time 😅 thanks for watching!

[@xchibiox]

This looks great. I can't wait to try making this soup. I am always looking for new ways to cook with bitter melon.

[@analyndouachi]

I love bitter melon

[@demimii2860]

Souper healthy!!

[@rena_wang]

I love this! Can’t wait to make it (=

[@jerometsowinghuen]

I only eat bitter melon with either scrambled eggs or stir fried beef from my grandparent's house.
On the other hand, I think the bitter melon soup looks healthy and does have health benefits.

4:44 I have those vegetable spoons too

[@vuonnhanho]

❤❤❤

[@ching-lungwu614]

This is good. I'll replace pork rib with chicken leg and try it out.

[@franciscatania2584]

Only add salt ??? Boil the pork ribs must add ginger and spring onion and the bitter melon must covered first for few minute so that it is not too bitter

[@davidprimacio2032]

is this added to the soup or just when boiling the pork?

[@joniozq]

Hm this one I’d pass on lol, not too big a fan of bitter melon. Though with scrambled eggs not too bad! But thanks for another instapot recipe!

[@angelwongskitchen]

Lol bitter melon is not for everyone 😅

[@peterlaw6824]

Personally, I would skim some of the oil off the top.

[@suchgreatheights8841]

I hated this as a kid. Now that my mother's gone I miss it

[@angelwongskitchen]

That's sweet of you to miss this soup and reminisce. 🥲

[@333KINGPIN33]

Why not use the instant pot to boil the ribs?

[@bribart402]

soup looks tasty but i not big on bitter melon nor durian. i am a sugarholic! hahaha

[@davidprimacio2032]

Honestly I know this is an acquired taste. It's OK I've tried lots of other things you done that I like better. I didn't start eating this until I was diagnosed as having diabetes. So, my understanding is that the bitter melon helps with your blood sugars. Some say it helps it go down, I just think it doesn't have any sugar so it doesn't spike your sugar levels. I was wondering if you can do another video including what you think about this and other meals you make helping with diabetes.

Can't get bitter melon here

[@jeanwoodall1523]

I'll pass on this one. I don't like bitter melon at all. We always sinigang (Filipino sour soup) growing up. It's my most most favorite food so I eat it all year round although it's best in cooler weather. It's broth is also clear but usually had a little color. Likely from the tomato powder in the seasoning blend. I love pork, beef, fish, and seafood versions. I usually add broccoli, spinach, chard, lettuces, cabbages, Bok Choy, okra, eggplant, radishes, turnips, and/or tomatoes. My favorite cool down treat is Halo-Halo (crushed or shaved ice with evaporated milk and various other ingredients like fruit, jelly, flan, ice cream, red Asian beans, purple yam, etc. Halo means mixed so you mix it all together and eat it with a spoon. Quickest way for me to cool down is to wet my wavy hair and it also refreshes my waves.

[@KangminSeungbin1]

As an asian I used to eat bitter gord as a child but as I grow up it disgust my taste, its really bitter

[@robbierempley]
