About Amplaya with egg and tomatoes

Ampalaya with Egg and Tomatoes is a simple yet nutritious dish rooted in Filipino cuisine. It features ampalaya, or bitter melon, combined with fresh tomatoes and scrambled eggs. Bitter melon, the star ingredient, is known for its distinct bitter flavor and its abundance of health benefits. Rich in vitamins C and A, antioxidants, and key minerals, ampalaya may support blood sugar regulation and digestion. Meanwhile, eggs provide high-quality protein and essential nutrients, while tomatoes add a dose of lycopene and vitamin C. This dish is typically sautéed in a little oil with garlic and onions for added flavor. While ampalaya is celebrated for its health-boosting qualities, its bitterness may not appeal to every palate. Additionally, moderation in oil and salt use is recommended to keep the dish heart-healthy. Ampalaya with Egg and Tomatoes showcases a balance of flavor, nutrition, and simplicity, making it a staple in many Filipino households.
