Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups (1-inch pieces) peeled kabocha squash
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
8 ounces pork sausage, casing removed
2 scallions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 serrano chile, sliced
2 teaspoons grated peeled ginger
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
Crushed salted, roasted peanuts and chopped cilantro (for serving)

Steps:

  • Steam squash in a steamer basket set in a pot of simmering water until tender, 6-8 minutes. Let cool slightly. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet and cook squash, turning occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Add scallions, garlic, chile, and ginger and cook, stirring often, just until softened, about 2 minutes. Add squash, lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar; toss to combine.
  • Serve stir-fry topped with peanuts and cilantro.

This stir-fry was delicious! The kabocha squash was sweet and tender, and the pork was cooked perfectly. The sauce was also very flavorful. I would definitely make this again.

This stir-fry was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar than the recipe calls for. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

This stir-fry was easy to make and very flavorful. I used a little less sugar than the recipe called for, and it was still plenty sweet. The pork was tender and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again.
