Cooking tips

  • Fresh pumpkins are very hard and can be dangerous to cut—always microwave them for about 1 minute first to soften slightly before slicing for safety.
  • After applying potato starch, lightly wet your hands and gently tap the surface to help the tempura flour stick better, which prevents separation during frying and results in a much crispier texture.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for an elegant and trendy appetizer to enjoy with beer or wine.
  • Anyone wanting to savor both the sweetness of pumpkin and the richness of pork belly at the same time.
