Japanese style, roast pumpkin egg stir fried rice

I had taken a quick lunch-break from work, and I decided to cook. We had a fridge full of left-overs, so I got creative and came up with Japanese style, roast pumpkin egg stir fried rice. This is a great idea for Mum’s and Dad’s with wee ones out there. Lovely flavours in this, it’s easy to eat, it looks lovely and colourful too. This was a great success with Baby Jude.

This really is so very quick and simple, so keep up. Here comes my Japanese style, roast pumpkin egg stir fried rice.

You will need;

•  3 slices of roasted Japanese pumpkin, de-seeded, de-skinnned, chopped finely – on roasting tray, drizzle with oil and good pinch sea salt & cracked black pepper;
• Roast that for about 20-30 minutes on 200 degrees until soft;;
• 1 cup of frozen peas;
• 1 teaspoon of finely chopped garlic;
• 2 eggs;
• Knob of salted butter;
• 1 teaspoon of light soy sauce; and
• 2 cups of pre-cooked plain white rice.

1. Take a wide bottom fry pan and drizzle a little oil and knob of butter, and get it on the heat;
2. Throw in the garlic and the rice, and start to fry that off;
3. You want to chop the rice with a spatula, as it is likely to be clumpy, because pre-cooked;
4. Add in the pumpkin, peas and the soy sauce and combine well, frying for about 5-10 minutes or so;
5. Push all that to one side of the pan and crack your two eggs in;
6. Put just that side of the pan on to the heat and roughly scramble the eggs until just nearly cooked, then merge back with the rice mixture;
7. Stir it all through again, and make sure the peas are cooked and de-frosted;
8. Add a little more soya sauce to make it more salty if you wish.

Ta-Da – finished. How easy is that. My Japanese style, roast pumpkin egg stir fried rice. Could it be any easier, seriously. We all tucked in to this, babies, adults and all. Have a crack, and – ENJOY!!!

Father of 3. All my kids are mixed, with English-Japanese, and English-Filipino - a recipe in the making there. I have been cooking since a small lad, as guided by my Nan and my Mum - gradually that morphed through exposure to Thai cooking from a lovely lady called Da in Margate. I used to hang out in her restaurant and watch the techniques. So the 1+1= greater than 2 occurred - Mum/Nan/Da - off I went in to the world of Asian cuisine. Moving to Asia in early 2000's clearly has brought that on somewhat - we travel continually, and eat locally and therefore have exposure to more and more new things. I have lived my dream and written a cook book whilst here, an amazing experience and all for a good cause too as I raised a lot of money for charity. My blog is now hopefully turning in to book number 2. Watch this space. I hope you enjoy my passion.
