My 2 older girls hate pumpkins. It’s a tall order getting them to eat pumpkins. They won’t even eat pumpkin pies which are so tasty. To get them to eat pumpkins, I sometimes julienne the pumpkin and fry them with vermicelli. Throw in some dried shrimps or dried small anchovies and the pot of fried vermicelli will be really flavorful and delish, not to mention the color looks bright and enticing too.
My pot of stir-fried vermicelli with homemade fish paste, organic Japanese pumpkin, veggie, garlic and eggs.
i love to cook with pumpkins too and i tried your pumpkin spare ribs recipe 😀 yummy. when i cook porridge for ashley, i would sometimes put pumpkins in it. however, my mother in law said that pumpkin has ‘wind’. is this true or maybe she doesn’t like to eat pumpkins ….hahahhahahha.
I love pumpkin. I am going to blog about the pumpkin pan mee soon.
Can also grate into spaghetti sauce and “hide” it that way. Also, mash in with sweet potatoes, a bit of butter and so yum! Try browning the top of it in the oven for a better presentation. Very trendy ard here now to have dishes like meat or seafood cooked inside a pumpkin.
