Lastly taste and add more fish sauce if needed, and add green onion at last minute and stir all together. Serve with rice and oisobagi or kimchi. </p> <p>^____^ **bitter melon is an acquired taste, it's not called bitter melon for no reason. if you find it to be not to your liking you can substitue daikon or the korean radish, or pickled/fresh mustard greens. </p>
