Prep the Bitter Melon
    Fry the Enoki Golden
      Sear Melon and Toast Beans
        Braise Until Silky

          Notes

          The classic Cantonese pairing of bitter melon and fermented black beans gets an umami boost from golden-fried enoki. Season the beans before adding water so their flavor concentrates, then braise low and slow until the melon is silky. Serve as a side with steamed rice.
