Ingredients
  • 2 cups pumpkin, in 2" cubes (can substitute butternut squash, or sweet potato!)
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • salt

Directions
  1. Peel and cube fresh, raw pumpkin and place in a microwave-safe dish.
  2. Cover with plastic wrap, or moist tea towel and steam until just tender (1-2 minutes)
  3. Spray a large skillet with non-stick or oil spray and warm over medium heat.
  4. Place steamed pumpkin cubes in an even layer across the bottom of the skillet and allow to pan-fry until lightly browned on the underside.
  5. Flip cubes over and scatter sweet chili sauce overtop, genty pushing around the cubes until decently coated.
  6. Continue to fry until underside is browned.
  7. Serve hot!
  8. Note: A few folks have asked about Sweet Chili Sauce--It's a sugary/spicy red chili sauce from Thailand. You can find it most American/Canadian stores in the Asian aisle under the brand names "Thai Kitchen" or "Taste of Thai." Aussies and Brits should be familiar with this sauce.

Could you tell me more about the sweet chili sauce, not sure I have seen this item in MA.


Different,have not tried Pumpkin this way,sounds good.

Thank-you

I'm looking for an answer to Yardsailor's question too. I assumed that it is the chinese sweet chili sauce that I get at the chinese grocer's is that the stuff that you mean too? Sounds like a great change from the same old squash.
