Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the dried old pumpkin strips.
Step 2
Soak the dried old pumpkin strips in cold water for about 10 minutes until they become pliable. After soaking, squeeze out as much water as possible with your hands.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the squeezed pumpkin strips with 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp sesame seeds, a little celery or parsley powder, and a little sesame oil. (Tip: Celery or parsley powder helps to neutralize the distinct aroma of old pumpkin, enhancing the flavor. You can omit it if you don’t have it.)
Step 4
Gently mix the ingredients with your hands until all the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the pumpkin strips. (Tip: Taste and add an additional pinch of salt if needed to adjust the seasoning.)
Step 5
Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pumpkin strips and stir-fry quickly for about 3 minutes. Avoid overcooking, as it can make the texture mushy. Quick stir-frying is key to maintaining its chewy texture.
Step 6
Finally, add a small amount of chili threads and mix them in. Turn off the heat immediately. Your delicious stir-fried dried old pumpkin is ready!
Step 7
This finished dish boasts a delightful chewy texture and a mild, appealing flavor suitable for all ages. It’s highly recommended as a nutritious side dish for kids, a healthy meal component, or a diet-friendly option.
