Bitter Bitter Egg

Weather: It's nite time. Clear sky, not too humid outside but not cool enough either.
Feelings: Tired, a little sleepy.
Mood: wanna eat some watermelon.

I just ate a bunch of food. Well, that was over an hour ago. It was good. Something new too, that I've never tried before. Kinda interesting. It was "bun ca" or that's what my friend called it. Some kind of fish soup and we ate it with vermicelli noodles with lots of veggies. I eat a lot of fish but I usually don't know what the name of the fish. I should put some effort into learning the names of the different type of fishes. Anyway, there was also papaya salad with beef jerky. This was kind of strange to me since we ate that papaya salad with soy sauce. Of course the soy sauce was mixed but I've always had it with fish sauce. However, they insisted that papaya salad is supposed to be eaten with soy sauce. Strange. It was ok but I prefer mine with fish sauce. I ate 3 bowls of the "bun ca" though. That was good. Plus I was super hungry. I am always super hungry after swimming which I did just that right before. If you're wondering, probably-most likely-definitely not, I swam 16 laps today. It's a big improvement for me.

Ok, today I'll post a dish that I promised a while back. I guess some people make it too or something similar but I will credit this to myself since I made it up without any guidance or hints from anyone or anything. It's basically eggs fried with bitter squash.

I'll call this dish: Bitter Bitter Egg
Recipes:

1 bitter squash

2 eggs

Oil, Fish sauce, sugar, pepper, mushroom powder or MSG if you prefer that.
Garlic (optional)

 

Just in case you don't know what an egg looks like. :P

Directions:
Wash, gut and cut the bitter squash into small round pieces.

Break the eggs into a bowl, mix it up with fish sauce, sugar, pepper and mushroom powder. Season the eggs to your liking.

 

Stir fry the bitter squash. Season it with  fish sauce, sugar, pepper and mushroom powder to your liking.

Once the bitter squash is done, pour the mixed eggs over it. Spread it out evenly over the squash. Cover it up with a lid and wait until the eggs are done and you'll get what's in the first picture.

******Tips****** 

The bitter squash is a little too bitter for me. So in order to get rid of some of the bitterness I boil a pot of water and throw the already cut up pieces of the squash into it and stir around a little. The longer you leave it in there the less bitter it becomes but also the more cooked it will become. You probably don't want to leave it in there for too long.

After I pour the eggs into the stir fried bitter squash, I like to poke around a little to move the eggs around so it will cook evenly. Also, I lower my heat so it doesn't burn the bottom when it's done.

I need to go take out my contacts. My eyes are so dried I can hardly open them. Someone proof read for me and grade me on my writing and grammar. I hope I get and B-.
