Stuff pork mixture into centers, letting meat bulge out slightly (it will shrink during cooking). 5. Heat remaining oil. Brown bitter melon slices lightly on both sides; then remove from pan. 6. Mash soaked black beans; crush remaining garlic. Add to pan; add water, and bring to a boil, stirring. 7. Return stuffed bitter melon and bring to a boil again. Then simmer, covered, over medium heat, until done (about 20 minutes). From <The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook>, ISBN 0-517-65870-4.
