Loofah in Pumpkin Sauce 【南瓜烩丝瓜】

秋季是南瓜和丝瓜的丰收季节，也正是南瓜和丝瓜最营养好吃的时候。不久前和朋友约饭时点的菜里有一道南瓜烩丝瓜，非常清甜美味。我就一直想着在家试做一次。

昨天妈妈的好友Lisa阿姨送来几根她种的丝瓜，非常肥嫩，刚好家里也收成了我自己种的南瓜，就都拿来做了这个南瓜烩丝瓜，真的非常营养又美味呢！

Fall is harvest time for pumpkin and loofah, it is also the most nutritious time for these two vegetables. I had this Loofah in Pumpkin Sauce during one of the gatherings with friends not long ago and really liked it.

My aunt Lisa sent me a few loofahs from her garden, with the pumpkin I harvest from my front yard, I made this Loofah pumpkin dish at home and it turned out really really nice!

材料：

1 根 丝瓜 

250 克 南瓜

2 瓣蒜

1 杯 高汤 （或水加一点鸡精粉）

食盐适量

Ingredients：

1 Loofah

250 g of Kabocha Pumpkin

2 Cloves of Garlic

1 Cup of Chicken stock or bone broth （Or 1 cup of water with some bouillon）

Salt to taste

1. 把丝瓜削皮切块，锅里热上一大勺食油，把蒜蓉切碎，加入锅里爆香。

2. 倒入丝瓜块煸炒至软，加点盐调味，盛出备用。

1. Peel and cut loofah into pieces, heat 1 tbsp of oil in a cooking pan, minced garlic, add garlic into wok.

2. Add loofah pieces into pan and stir fry until soft, take the loofah out in a plate.

3.  在准备丝瓜的时候，先把南瓜切块去种子入蒸锅蒸15-20分钟至软。

4.  把蒸好的南瓜肉挖出，压成泥。

5. 把南瓜泥和高汤入锅煮滚，加盐调味，南瓜汤煮至浓稠后盛出放到一个深盘子里，把炒好的丝瓜盛到南瓜浓汤上一起上桌，也可以把炒好的丝瓜一起入锅煮一煮味道更融合。

3. Cut the pumpkin into large pieces, remove seeds and steam the pumpkin for 15-20 minutes until tender.

4. Use a spoon to scrap the cooked pumpkin pulps out and mash the pumpkin flesh using a potato masher.

5. Place the mashed pumpkin and chicken stock in a cooking pan, bring to boil, season with salt and cook until thickened.

6. Take the pumpkin sauce out into a soup bowl/plate, place the cooked loofah on top and serve hot.
