Ampalaya is called Bitter melon because of its' bitterness so If you want to reduce the strong taste of this healthy vegetable, you can soak the sliced vegetables in water with some salt. I guarantee you, if you follow my procedure below, you won't taste the bitterness after making this meal. 
Beaten eggs poured into your stir fried dish is a great addition.
