Pumpkin stuffed with Chicken 南瓜醸鸡

 


Since this month LTU event is Pumpkin, let me continue sharing dishes with pumpkin. This dish was inspired from a food TV show.


 



Pumpkin stuffed with Chicken 南瓜醸鸡 

1 pumpkin (~1.5kg) 
400g chicken thigh, cubed
½ onion, wedges
2 clove garlic, chopped


Seasonings
1tsp Chu Hou Sauce 柱侯醬
1tsp Hoisin Sauce 海鲜醬
1/2tsp sesame oil
1tsp dark soy sauce
1tsp light soy sauce
1/2tsp Chinese wine
1/2tsp sugar
Salt to taste
pepper
corn flour plus water, for thickening 

Method

 1. Wash and pat dry the pumpkin. Cut a "lid" in the top, slice off the seedy part, so that you're left with a clean lid or hat. Set aside.
 2. Scoop out the seeds and "guts" of the pumpkin. Save seeds to roast, or discard.
 3. Steam pumpkin over hot boiling water for 30mins. Once done, discard excess water.
 4. While steaming the pumpkin, prepare the chicken filling.
 5. Heat 2tbsp oil in a wok, sauté onion and garlic till aroma, add in chicken, stir till change colour.
 6. Add in seasonings, stir fry till chicken is cooked.
 7. Spoon chicken filling into steamed pumpkin, cover with lid. Steam again for 20mins or until pumpkin tendered.
 8. If you notice the gravy is watery, add in corn flour (mix with water) , steam for few minutes to let gravy turned thick.
 9. Serve hot with steamed rice.
