How to Make HYCH Tamarind Pumpkin Curry Bowls
- Cook basmati rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
- Pre-heat oven to 350F.
- Marinate chicken in HYCH Bibimbap Hot Sauce or red curry paste.
- Cut tops off pie pumpkins. Cut 1/3 of the way down from the pumpkin stems to ensure a nice serving bowl. Be careful with sharp knives!
- Scoop seeds out of pie pumpkins and discard.
- Roast pie pumpkins (with lids on) for 1 hour or until pumpkin meat is tender.
- Once pumpkins are roasted, carefully carve out the pumpkin meat. Leave the pumpkin bowls intact for serving your curry.
- Dice pumpkin meat into large chunks and set aside. Save pie pumpkin shells for use as serving bowls.
- Heat cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
- Add chopped onion and cook until translucent.
- Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
- Add chicken pieces and cook until they are no longer pink in the center and have a golden brown color, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in coconut milk and add chicken broth, stirring continuously.
- Add pumpkin and simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing it to absorb the flavors.
- Stir in the HYCH Tamarind Hot Sauce to desired level of spiciness.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve HYCH Tamarind Pumpkin Curry in roasted pumpkin bowls over rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of fresh lime.
