Rich & Creamy Pumpkin Rice

This quick and easy with good flavors pumpkin rice has a bright yellow hue when cooked, thanks to the pumpkin, so it looks extra cheery on our dinner table. This method of cooking is quite similar to my mother in-law's cooking style(i miss her cooking) - involving pre-cooking some of the ingredients by stir-frying and then everything is cooked in a wok to cook as a one-dish meal. The buttery aroma of the rice blended perfectly with the sweet taste of pumpkin.

The result is just heavenly deliciousness!!!

Very tasty and my family really enjoyed this for dinner last night especially my hubby he loves omelette very much! 


Ingredients

1tbsp olive oil

20g butter (melted)

150g baked ham or streaky bacon(oven for 10-15mins)

5cloves garlic

1large onion finely chopped 

1 medium pumpkin (smashed/puree)
