Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use firm, ripe pumpkin for stir-frying. Look for pumpkins that are deep orange in color and feel heavy for their size.
  • Cut the pumpkin into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. Cut the pumpkin into 1-inch cubes or wedges.
  • Marinate the pumpkin: Marinating the pumpkin in a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder helps to add flavor and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: This will help to prevent the pumpkin from sticking. If you don't have a wok or skillet, you can use a large saucepan.
  • Stir-fry the pumpkin over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the pumpkin and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the chiles and basil last: This will help to preserve their flavor and prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the stir-fried pumpkin immediately: This is when it is at its best. You can serve it over rice or noodles, or as a side dish.

Stir-fried pumpkin with chiles and basil is a quick and easy dish that is packed with flavor. It's a great way to use up leftover pumpkin, and it's also a healthy and affordable meal.
