Pumpkin Fried Rice Noodles

I had intended to cook pumpkin rice for dinner yesterday. When preparing the ingredients, blur me realised I had run out of rice. Thankfully I had a pack of rice noodles (bee hoon to be exact) and cooked Pumpkin Fried Rice Noodles instead.

It's mostly estimation when it comes to cooking this dish. No hard and fast rules on how much meat, mushroom or seasoning you need to use as it really depends on individual preference. We are rather small eaters, so the amounts I've listed in the recipe below may be too little or too much for some.

We had a hearty dinner and really enjoyed the meal, especially my girl.

Pumpkin Fried Rice Noodles

Ingredients:

1 packet rice noodles, soaked (enough to serve 3)

200g pumpkin flesh (without skin), cubed

150g minced pork, marinated with light soya sauce and sesame oil

50g shredded carrot

6 shitake mushroom, soaked and then sliced thinly (keep the water - about 300g)

6 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped

1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped

2 tbspn light soya sauce
1 tbspn dark soya sauce

Method:

1. Heat 2 tbspn oil in a wok and stir fry the chopped garlic and onion till fragrant.

5. Add in the water from soaking the mushrooms, as well as the light and dark soya sauce.

6. Stir well and cover to braise for about 3 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked and the pumpkin is softened. (Add some water if it's too dry)
