This is really good!! However I added chicken and I also used more chicken stock, then added cornflour to thicken it - so it was less like a stir-fry and more like a casserole? I also zapped the pumpkin in the microwave first otherwise I don't think it would soften! BUT VERY, VERY TASTY!! -
This is good for fall: warming and filling. The sauce turns a rich, shiny mahogany color and clings to the pumpkin (I used kabocha squash). The closest thing I've made to this was a northern Vietnamese shrimp dish; this is a similar concept with squash instead of meat, and it worked well.

I love food. I always think that's one of the few things in life we should all spend more time with, have more care in the food we eat and how and how much.
I moved to New York right after college. I work long hours, but that's the case at all financial consulting firms in the city. I cannot list all the perks involved with living in the city. There are so many amazing restaurants here. Some insanely expensive, some so cheap you can't believe. I have been having lots and lots of fun trying them out. Moreover, New York seems to have endless supply of world class, and world varied, ingredients, which makes cooking infinitely more fun.
