Fried Bitterground with Blackpepper Sauce

I really resist to have this dish when I was young. I was

thought that this tastes very bitter and I was intensely
afraid to put this vege into my mouth because of the
bitter taste.
This time, I had fried the bitter ground with black pepper sauce.
I was marinated the bitter ground with some salt for half and
hour after sliced and washed it with water to reduce the bitter
taste.

Besides, I had cooked a pot of fresh sweet corn and carrot soup.
I had bought these ingredients on last Saturday morning in Lido
market.
