Steamed pumpkin is a dish with high nutritional value and sweet taste. It uses a common ingredient - pumpkin. Steamed pumpkin is cooked by steaming, which will not destroy the vitamin C in the pumpkin. However, since the pumpkin skin is too hard, the time required to steam the pumpkin is a little longer, generally about 35 minutes.

If the steaming time is too short, the pumpkin flesh will not be cooked and will be raw and difficult to swallow. If the steaming time is too long, the nutrients in the pumpkin flesh will be lost and its taste will not be good. Therefore, the time for steaming the pumpkin must be just right. For other recipes, you need to peel off the skin and then steam it, which usually takes 20 to 30 minutes.
