Place the pumpkin on a baking dish, cover with plastic wrap and microwave in a 500W microwave oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove when softened.

Finely chop the green onion.

How does marbo pumpkin taste?

The spicy Chinese-style sauce with ginger and garlic is deliciously tangy and melts into the sweet, fluffy pumpkin! The juicy flavor of the minced meat seeps out with every bite. The balance of the sweetness of the pumpkin, the umami of the meat, and the spiciness of the Chinese-style sauce is exquisite, and the flavor is so good that you can't stop eating!

The marbo is not completely Chinese, but has a slightly Japanese flavor with soy sauce and miso, making it an easy-to-eat side dish that does not have an overly strong aftertaste. It is not only good for a family dinner table, but with a dash of soy sauce and garlic, it is also recommended as a side dish for those who live alone!
