Recipe: Pumpkin rice bowl 黄金饭


I think it's not even anything new to long-time readers that I LOVE PUMPKIN. 

Alright, technically I love A LOT of food. Guilty as charged. :P 

But pumpkin will always be high up on the ranking chart. <3  

So I thought since Lunar New Year is coming soon right? I shall share with everyone an awesome recipe that you may consider putting on your reunion dinner menu! 

I call it the 黄金饭, golden pumpkin rice bowl. Very auspicious name right?! :D 

Actually because I don't have fantastic Chinese vocabulary for those 4 letters or 8 letters chim-chim chinese names. :P 



Because pumpkin rice is too mainstream. We do it with an element of surprise. 

Basically stuffing an entire pumpkin with pumpkin rice! The you give it a good steam and tadah~ ready to be served. ^^ 


It's like opening up a treasure box. 


With all the jewels, golds and diamonds (rice, lup cheong, peanuts and many more!) pouring all out in front of you! 


Ingredients:
2 cups rice
Pork belly, cut to thin stripes (the second time, we replaced it with sio bak!)
Dried mushroom (soaked overnight), cut to thin stripes
Lup cheong, sliced 
Dried shrimps
1 dried cuttlefish (optional), cut to thin stripes
Peanuts, handful 
2 tbsp cooking oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 small onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp of premium dark soy sauce
1 tbsp light soy sauce
water

1 whole pumpkin
Cut off the top of the pumpkin  and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.

Method:

2. Add in sliced pork belly and fry until they are just cooked on the surface. 

3. Add peanuts, dried mushroom, dried shrimps and dried cuttlefish. Stir fry for about 2 minutes. 

4. Add uncooked washed rice and stir fry for another 2 minutes or when well mixed.

5. Add dark soy sauce and light soy sauce, mix well. 

7. Transfer contents from the wok into the prepared pumpkin. Wrap the pumpkin with a layer of aluminium foil. Steam the pumpkin for an hour in a steamer.
