小满时节，民间素有吃“苦”尝鲜的习俗，苦瓜便是此时的应季佳品。
During the Grain Buds (xiao man) solar term, which falls between May 21 and June 5 this year, eating bitter foods is a cherished seasonal tradition in China.

盘中的清炒苦瓜脆嫩鲜绿，搭配红辣椒与黑木耳，色彩清爽。入口微苦回甘，既能清热解暑，又能呼应小满时节“小满吃苦，一夏不苦”的民间智慧，是餐桌上的一道时令清味。
Stir-fried bitter gourd, paired with red chili and black fungus, offers a crisp texture and a gentle bitterness that gives way to a sweet aftertaste. Believed to help cool the body in early summer, this simple dish reflects the folk wisdom: “Eat bitterness at xiao man, and summer will feel less bitter.”
