How to make it
1

Remove the seeds from the bitter melon and cut it into 5-6 cm long sticks. Sprinkle with salt and rub it in. Once moisture comes out, rinse off the salt under running water and pat dry with kitchen paper

2

Layer bacon and bitter melon cut into strips, then wrap them up in a strip of roasted seaweed. You can seal the ends of the seaweed with flour paste

3

Arrange the ingredients from step [3] on a plate, pour the basic batter over them, and let it coat them evenly

4

Place the fried food in oil heated to 170°C and fry for 2-3 minutes, turning it with chopsticks. Once the coating is a nice golden brown, remove it and drain the oil on a wire rack

5

Serve in a bowl and you're done
