Oyster sauce or other sauces with good amounts of umami flavor might help with the bitterness. How has she been preparing it?

i'd say a simple preparation of olive oil, lots of garlic, and some red pepper flakes.

You can remove the largest stems, which are the most bitter, or you can blanche briefly in salted water to cut the bitterness.

now i want some!
