Wok-Tossed Bitter Melon with Duck Egg & Miso

Name: Wok-Tossed Bitter Melon with Duck Egg & Miso
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 tablespoons 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)
