Stirfry Pumpkin With Pork

Chinese stir fry recipes are usually quick to prepare and hassle free. Most important, the meat and vegetables must be cleaned and cut first prior to heating up the wok. I remembered when I first started cooking. I heated up the oil in the wok while trying to cut the ingredients at the same time. The cutting took a bit too long. My wok caught fire from excessive heating. I scrambled to put out the fire. Sufficed to say, I learnt well thereon. If possible, serve the dish immediately once scooped out from the wok.

Ingredients

300 g	           		        	Pork; cut into 1 1/2 inch length
1 tsp	              		        	Cornflour
1/2	               		        	Small Pumpkin; peeled and cubed
1 tbsp	                 		Worcestershire Sauce
2 cloves		        		Garlic; minced
1 tsp	              	         		Soy Sauce
1 tsp	         		         	Sesame Oil
	           		        	Pepper; as desired	
	                             		Cooking Oil			

Method

Marinade pork meat with Worcestershire sauce for 20 minutes. Then coat lightly with cornflour.

Heat oil in wok. Stir fry minced garlic until fragrant. Add pork meat first with the soy sauce, sesame oil and pepper. Stir fry until meat is cooked. Scoop up meat and set aside first.

Now add pumpkin cubes. Add 1/2 bowl of water and cook until pumpkins are soft enough. Add in cooked pork meat and stirfry again for 5 to 10 minutes over medium heat.

Turn off heat. Dish out and serve with warm rice.
