Recipe

Microwave the whole pumpkin for 3 minutes to soften slightly, then cut off the top like a lid and scoop out the seeds cleanly with a spoon.
In a heated pan without oil, add smoked duck, green onion cut on the bias, and sliced onion.
Add gochujang, gochugaru, oyster sauce, sugar, and minced garlic, and stir-fry spicily until the duck fat and seasoning are well combined.
Firmly pack the stir-fried smoked duck and vegetables into the hollowed-out pumpkin, pressing down to fill completely.
Place the stuffed pumpkin in an air fryer preheated to 180°C and cook for 10 minutes to fully soften the pumpkin.
After 10 minutes, remove the pumpkin, slice it open with a knife to spread it like a flower, and generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese and parsley flakes in the center.
Return to the air fryer at 180°C for another 5 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and golden brown.

Microwave the pumpkin for 3 minutes, cut off the top, and scoop out the seeds.
Stir-fry smoked duck, green onion, and onion with gochujang, gochugaru, and oyster sauce until spicy.
Stuff the stir-fried duck into the pumpkin, bake at 180°C for 10 minutes, then split the pumpkin, top with cheese, and bake for another 5 minutes.

Cooking tips

Cutting raw pumpkin is very hard and dangerous, so always soften it in the microwave first before cutting.
When stir-frying the duck with gochujang seasoning, it's tempting to snack on it, but hold back to keep the filling plentiful for a nice presentation.
