3. Measure 20g portions of the mixed meat and roll them into balls.
   🕒 03:43
4. Trim the ends off the 2 Bitter Melons, cut them in half lengthwise, and carefully scoop out the seeds and white pith with a spoon. Properly remove the white pith as leaving it will result in a stronger bitter taste.

6. Heat Extra Virgin Olive Oil (to taste) in a frying pan. Add the cut bitter melon and sauté lightly after sprinkling with Salt (to taste).

7. Lightly dust the rolled meatballs with All-Purpose Flour and shake off any excess.
   🕒 05:49
8. Heat Extra Virgin Olive Oil (to taste) in a separate frying pan. Add the meatballs and cook until lightly browned on all sides. Since the meatballs are floured, they can easily burn, so cook over low heat. It's not necessary to cook them through completely as they will simmer in the sauce.

9. Prepare the sauce ingredients: 800g (2 cans) Diced Tomatoes, 100ml Water, 10g Salt, Oregano (to taste), and Black Pepper (to taste).

Lightly adjust the seasoning with salt. Since salt was added when sautéing the bitter melon, use a moderate amount of salt for the sauce.
    🕒 08:41
12. Add the browned meatballs to the sauce and simmer for about 5 minutes. If the sauce reduces too much during simmering, add Water (to taste) to adjust to your desired consistency.
    🕒 09:13
