Stir-fried shredded pumpkin is a quick, healthy, and delicious dish that highlights the natural sweetness of pumpkin. Here’s a simple guide to making it perfectly.
Ingredients: 1 medium pumpkin (about 500g), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 green onion (chopped), 1 tsp soy sauce, ½ tsp salt, 1 pinch of sugar (optional), 2 tbsp cooking oil.
Steps:
1. Prepare the pumpkin: Peel the pumpkin, cut it in half, scoop out seeds, and shred it into thin, even strips. Soak the shredded pumpkin in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.
2. Heat the wok: Place a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and swirl to coat the surface.
3. Stir-fry the aromatics: Toss in minced garlic and chopped green onion. Stir-fry for 10-15 seconds until fragrant.
4. Cook the pumpkin: Add the shredded pumpkin to the wok. Stir-fry continuously for 3-4 minutes until the pumpkin softens but retains a slight crunch.
5. Season: Drizzle in soy sauce, sprinkle salt, and a pinch of sugar (to enhance sweetness if desired). Mix well and stir-fry for another minute.
Serving: Transfer to a plate and serve hot. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice or as a light side dish.
