Hi everyone, welcome to Xiao Yuan's Kitchen! Today, I'm sharing 'Ever since I learned this pumpkin recipe, I eat it five times a week – I wish I could eat more! It's not fried or boiled, it's beautiful and delicious.'
There are two common types of pumpkins: young pumpkins, also known as butternut squash, which are crisp and suitable for quick stir-fries. The other is golden-yellow, also called old pumpkins, which are sweet and tender and are perfect for steaming and boiling. Pumpkins are truly a treasure trove, rich in beta-carotene, which converts within the body to Vitamin A, a vital nutrient that promotes children's bone development and strengthens their immune system.
