Ginisang Ampalaya is a traditional Filipino dish made with sautéed bitter melon, eggs, onions, tomatoes, and garlic. Ampalaya, or bitter melon, is the centerpiece of the dish, offering a unique flavor that is complemented by the savory richness of scrambled eggs and aromatic vegetables. Known for its nutritional benefits, bitter melon is rich in antioxidants, vitamins A and C, and minerals like potassium and iron. It is also linked to blood sugar regulation, making it a popular choice for diabetic diets. The dish is lightly cooked to retain the vegetables’ nutrients, and it is typically seasoned with minimal oil and salt, making it a low-calorie meal. However, its inherent bitterness may not suit all palates and requires an acquired taste. Ginisang Ampalaya reflects Filipino ingenuity in transforming simple, healthy ingredients into a wholesome and satisfying dish.
