I Learned this Goya Chanpuru from My Okinawan Husband step by step

Cut the bitter gourd in half lengthwise, and scrape out the white fluffy pith with a spoon. Slice into half-moon slices about 5 mm thick. Bring water to a boil in a pan, and briskly parboil the sliced bitter melon..
Drain the boiled bitter melon well. Heat oil in the pan and stir-fry the pork. When it's about halfway cooked, add the bitter melon and stir-fry..
When the bitter melon has wilted, add the tofu, miso, and cooking sake. Mix and stir-fry while lightly breaking up the tofu..
Pour in the beaten egg. When it's soft-set, mix it in. Add the dashi stock granules and drizzle in the soy sauce. Sprinkle on bonito flakes and it's done..
In Okinawa, they have a type of tofu called shima-dofu (island tofu) which is perfect for stir fries. It's hard to obtain outside Okinawa, so use firm tofu..
My husband's parents make this a lot with Spam rather than pork. I used coarsely chopped pork offcuts this time, but I also recommend using pork belly slices..
I don't like the unique bitterness of bitter melon too much so I parboil it in Step 1, but if you like the bitterness, you can omit that step!.
