Pumpkin Fried Rice

After visiting the Seattle based Japanese restaurant Ginza and ordering their delicious pumpkin fried rice, I had to try to make it on my own!  Given that this was my first time cooking any type of squash/pumpkin, it took me quite a while to get it to my liking, not to mention I was also sweating like a pig hanging around the oven and stovetop for so long!  But in the end, I truly surprised myself as it turned out quite yummy!

Prepping the pumpkin/squash for roasting in the oven (I don't have a wok big enough to steam it.)

Prepping the fried rice ingredients while waiting for the pumpkin/squash to cook

Fried rice is ready!  It took a super long time for the pumpkin to soften in the pan, so I'd recommend throwing it in with the pumpkin to cook!

Dinner is served!

"How do you do?" (hat on, lol)

As Michelle Tanner used to say "Yummy in the tummy!"
