PORK MINCE OVER PUMPKIN (JAPANESE RECIPE)



Pork Mince over Pumpkin (Japanese recipe) image

Tomoko and her sister cooked this last night. It's from a Japanese cookbook Tomoko's mum sent us. This is our translation of the recipe. The recipe suggests it serves 6-8, but 4 of us ate it as part of a dinner with lots of small courses. I could have eaten all of it! Beef or chicken mince would be good with this too.
