Recently, I bought a pumpkin [about 1.3kg] to cook this dish and a dessert/drink [Pumpkin Barley Drink - tomorrow's post]. Both turned out lovely. I cut the pumpkin into half to get the pumpkin bowl and the other half was steamed and mashed into puree to cook the dessert.
The pork ribs are tasty, aromatic, savoury and not spicy eventhough red chilli is added. Overall taste blends well with the sweet pumpkin flesh. Nice dish to serve with rice. I served this dish with Tea Leaf Rice [see previous post].
It is best to cook the pork ribs until soft before transferring to the pumpkin bowl so that the flavours are well absorbed by the pork ribs when the pumpkin is steamed.
Recipe adapted from the book Festive Temptations
