2 t brown rice syrup
2 C cooked brown rice

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: For the best results, opt for a firm and ripe pumpkin with deep, even coloring. Avoid pumpkins with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Cut the pumpkin carefully: Be sure to remove the seeds and stringy pulp from the pumpkin before slicing it into even-sized pieces. This will help ensure that the pumpkin cooks evenly.
  • Use a hot wok or pan: A hot wok or pan will help to sear the pumpkin and vegetables, giving them a slightly caramelized flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the pumpkin and vegetables, be sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Add the curry paste gradually: Start by adding a small amount of curry paste and taste the sauce. Adjust the amount of curry paste to your desired level of heat.
  • Simmer gently: Once the curry is simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve with rice or noodles: Thai red curry pumpkin is traditionally served with rice or noodles. Jasmine rice is a popular choice, but you can use any type of rice or noodle that you like.
