This is a dish that I should have published by the end of last month, but as usual, laziness is king...lol At times, laziness takes over in cooking as well, so basically you can label this dish a 'lazy' dish as well. Simple steps with simple ingredients, at least from my point of view XD.
Ingredients
1/4 of Pumpkin, coarsely chopped into chunks
250g minced pork (other mince is fine as well)
about 5 stems of garlic sprouts (cut to desired lengths)
4 cloves garlic(finely chopped)
3 tbsp vegetable oil
about 4 tbsp of cumin seeds
Seasoning
light soy sauce
Thai sweet chili sauce
chili or paprika powder
salt and pepper to taste
oyster sauce
Brown sugar
Method
1. Heat oil in a wok or pot, stir fry the chopped garlic until fragrant, stir in 2tbsp of cumin seeds and 2 tbsp chili powder, sautee until the cumin seed's flavour is released, add minced pork at this point, followed by light soy sauce, salt and pepper to taste, continue to stir fry until the minced pork turns brown.
2. Stir in the pumpkin chunks, mix well, add water to cover the pumpkin, close with lid and bring to boil. Remove lid upon boiling, mix well and check if the pumpkin chunks have to started to soften, add 2 tbsp of oyster sauce, 1tbsp of sugar and another round of light soy sauce, salt and pepper to taste. Close lid, turn to medium heat and braise for about 10-15 minutes.
