Cooking tips

  • Pumpkin leaves often trap a lot of dirt in their fine hairs, so soaking them in vinegar water for 5 minutes ensures all impurities are removed cleanly.
  • Avoid rinsing steamed pumpkin leaves with cold water, as this can wash away their unique aroma and flavor. Always let them cool naturally in a colander.
  • Mashing tofu into the soybean paste reduces its saltiness while enhancing its richness, resulting in a smooth, creamy stir-fry.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a healthy, stomach-friendly meal when summer appetite is low.
  • People looking for a low-salt, savory soybean paste stir-fry recipe that isn't overly salty.
  • Home cooks who want to easily prepare fresh seasonal pumpkin leaves from cleaning to cooking.
