Wok-Tossed Bitter Melon with Duck Egg & Miso - Andrew Zimmern

Ingredients

• 4 cups sliced bitter melon. I like to use melons that are smoother with less pronounced dimpling.
• 1 duck egg plus one yolk, lightly beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoon oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 minced shallot
• 2 dried hot chiles
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon salted fermented black beans soaked for an hour in 2 tablespoon rice wine
• 2/3 cup miso paste (red or brown is fine, just use an imported Japanese brand, an all-natural product, Westbrae is American miso, so it doesn’t count!)
• 3 large egg yolks
• 7 tablespoons sake
• 6 tablespoons sugar
• 4 tablespoons dashi (Japanese bonito stock…you can use instant for this)
