2. Cut the bitter gourd into sections and remove the seeds...soak it in brine for 20 minutes. Cut off the roots of shiitake mushrooms and soak them in water for later use. Pork lean meat is chopped by hand in advance, salted and chicken bouillon ➕ appropriate amount of pepper and salt are mixed well.

3. Stuff the lean meat with bitter gourd segments.

5. Steam on the pot for 15 minutes.

6. Pour the steamed bitter gourd into the big bone soup: Next two cloves of garlic➕appropriate pepper➕a little salt powder chicken essence. Continue to cook for 10-20 minutes. I personally like bitter gourd to taste better when cooked.
