Pumpkin in Coconut Milk
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk, or 1 (13-ounce) can
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dry turmeric
- 2 teaspoons fish or soy sauce
- 1 (1 1/2-inch) piece ginger, peeled and cut into 3 slices
- 1/2 medium white onion, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 (1 1/2-2-pound) pumpkin, skin and seeds removed, then cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or Vietnamese coriander
- In a saucepan, mix the coconut milk and water; add the sugar, salt, turmeric, and fish sauce; stir well to combine.
- Add the ginger, onion, and pumpkin, and bring to a low boil; stir gently and reduce the heat to simmer.
- Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Check to see if the pumpkin is tender and cook a few more minutes or as needed (add a bit more water if the sauce gets too dry).
- Remove from the heat, remove the ginger, and let sit a few minutes to thicken the sauce.
- Garnish with cilantro and serve.
