Pumpkin Pie

Ingredients: pumpkin, glutinous rice flour, condensed milk. Method: 1. Cut the pumpkin into pieces, steam it, and mash it into a paste. 2. Then add some glutinous rice flour (the kind used to wrap glutinous rice balls). 3.

Baked Pumpkin with Egg Yolk

Ingredients: 500 grams of pumpkin, 2 salted eggs (egg yolks) Seasoning: 1.5 teaspoons of salt, 100 grams of starch, 1 tablespoon of sugar Method 1. Wash and peel the pumpkin, remove the center of the pumpkin, and then cut into 1 cm wide and 4 cm long segments. 2. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the cut pumpkin segments and mix well. Marinate for 20 minutes to allow the pumpkin to release water. 3. Take out the yolks of the salted duck eggs and crush them with a small spoon for later use. 4. The pickled pumpkin segments will release water. After draining the water, add dry starch and mix thoroughly so that each piece is coated with starch. 5. Put oil in the pot. When it is 50% hot, put in the pumpkin strips and fry them on low heat until the color turns light yellow and becomes hard. Then drain the oil and remove from the pot. 6. Use another pot, leave a little oil in the pot, add the crushed salted egg yolks, and stir-fry over low heat. 7. When the salted egg yolks are fried into foam, add the fried pumpkin strips, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and sugar, stir well and serve.

Tips 1: The pumpkin segments do not need to be cut too finely, otherwise they will easily become soft and lose their shape when stir-fried. 2. Add more dry starch to the pickled pumpkin strips. If you add too little, the pumpkin will become soft after frying. 3. When frying egg yolks, be sure to use low heat and fry slowly. If the heat is too high, the egg yolks will turn black. 4. When adding the fried pumpkin strips in the last step, do not stir them back and forth with a spatula. Just stir them slowly and evenly, otherwise the pumpkin strips will break.
