1 bitter melon, seeded and cut into matchsticks
1 eggplant, cut into matchsticks
1 carrot, cut into matchsticks
4 cloves garlic, sliced thin
2 green chile peppers, seeded and sliced thin
1 small sweet onion, diced
½ cup water
½ cup distilled white vinegar
2 (2 inch) pieces minced fresh ginger root
1 cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the bitter melon and eggplant to the boiling water and return to a boil; cook at a boil for 2 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water to stop from cooking further.
  • Toss the bitter melon, eggplant, carrot, garlic, green chile peppers, and sweet onion in a large bowl; cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
