Cooking tips 💡

• Cut the pumpkin into thick, large pieces rather than thin slices, as thin pieces will disintegrate during cooking.
• Season with fermented shrimp sauce instead of salt or soy sauce to bring out a uniquely deep savory flavor and a clean, refreshing taste.
• If desired, add chopped cheongyang chili pepper or large green onion at the final stage for a clean, spicy kick.
