Ingredients (Serves 2)
2 small Kabocha pumpkins
1 bowl of day-old rice
50g luncheon meat
¼ carrot
¼ onion
1 egg
20g green peas
1 tsp Korean gochujang
½ tsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp cooking oil
2 sheets of nori (for eyes)
30g shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
1. Prepare Pumpkin Bowls & Chop Ingredients
Wash the Kabocha pumpkins and slice off the top quarter to create lids. Scoop out the seeds (save them for roasting). Cut the carrot, luncheon meat, and onion into chunks, then place them together in the Geedel Vegetable Chopper using vegetable chopper mode (medium blade). Press down twice lightly to get even 1cm dices—prepping three ingredients at once saves time without mixing flavors. Transfer to containers.
2. Stir-Fry the Rice: Ready in 10 Minutes
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan over medium heat. Scramble the egg and set aside. In the same pan, sauté the carrot and onion dices for 2 minutes. Add luncheon meat dices and green peas, stir-frying for another minute. Add the day-old rice, breaking up any clumps. Mix in gochujang and soy sauce, stir-frying for 2 minutes until the rice is evenly coated. Return the scrambled egg to the pan, mix well, and turn off the heat.
3. Assemble the Pumpkin Bowls: Halloween Fun
Fill the pumpkin bowls with the fried rice. Top with shredded mozzarella and cover with the pumpkin lids. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15 minutes, until the cheese melts. Remove and decorate with nori-cut "eyes" and cheese strips arranged like "mummy bandages." The golden pumpkins, flavorful rice, and white cheese create an adorable and delicious presentation.
4. Time-Saving Tips
Dice all ingredients with the Geedel the night before and refrigerate
Steam the pumpkin bowls for 10 minutes in advance to reduce baking time
Short on time? Use ready-made pumpkin purée mixed with the fried rice for a Halloween twist
