Okinawa Stir Fried Bitter Melon Goya

    Cuisine:

      Thank you for posting this recipe! I have not had this in a long time because we couldn't find the goya. used to live in Okinawa and my wife would make it often. One question though: You stated "Goya is very healthy and has a lot of nutrients which can not be taken easily even if it undergoes heating during the cooking process." I don't quite understand what you meant by "can not be taken easily even if it undergoes heating during the cooking process." Should I be careful not to over-heat it?
