Directions:
- Place your large glass dish on a heat-proof mat on your bench/island/table near your freshly boiled kettle of the water. Place your oiled plate next to that, and your final dish next to that.
- Cut the ends from your bitter melon, top and tail it, cut it in half across the middle. Then cut each half lengthways, and scrape out the seed-bed very firmly. Your melon should be very easy to cut yet quite firm.Slice the shell VERY thinly into what I call smiles ).
- Slice your onion in any way you prefer for frying, again, I use VERY thin smiles. Chop thinly for reduced cooking time. Put aside with the melon slices. Have your corn ready, but separate.
- Heat your olive oil and sesame oil in a 30cm frypan on medium heat. Toss in the bitter melon and onion and fry until melon begins to go soft and onion is browning - not too hot, though! Toss in a dash or two of soy sauce to taste .When melon softens, add the corn, and cook until heated through and corn begins to colour. Watch out, and be careful because the corn tries to jump from the pan! Keep stirring it!
- When it's done just switch the pan off, and let it sit whilst you take the next steps. Boil your water again and fill your round dish with boiling water. Take one spring roll sheet and dunk it in the water according to the instructions on the packet. Only 1 at a time! when it has softened, take it out using tongs - use two tongs and grasp it at 8 & 4 o'clock and pull it out towards you, also pulling it up so it hangs down over the dish - lay it down on your oiled plate and smooth out the edges with your fingers. Take a tablespoonful ( more or less ) of your bitter melon mix and pop it on your spring roll wrapper and wrap according to the instructions on the packet. Place seam side down on your final dish. Continue until mix is used up. If your water cools too much, tip in some more from the kettle.
- If you want to fry them afterward, follow the directions on the wrapper packet as to refrigeration time and frying method. I serve them just like this because we can't wait that long to eat them! Use soy sauce as a dipping sauce. this mix may also be used to stuff other vegetable, or for dim sims and wontons. I have been known to make sandwiches with it when I have been too lazy to do the wrappers. It is also nice with soba noodles fried and tossed through.
