Pumpkin Rice

This is something that Caelyn actually likes to eat. You can substitute with any ingredients you like, main ingredients tho is the pumpkin of course.


Ingredients:
Pumpkin, deseeded and diced into small pieces
Garlic, crushed and chopped
Dried Prawns, soaked
Mushrooms, fresh or dried ones
Green Leafy Veg, shredded finely
Minced Meat
Soy Sauce
Pepper

1. Wash your rice and set aside inside the rice cooker.

2. Heap up some oil in a pan and add the garlic. Cook till it browns a little and then add the dried prawns and minced meat. Add the pumpkin after the meat has browned and season the mixture with Soy Sauce and Pepper. Cook the pumpkins until they're heated through. At this point, turn off the heat and add the mushrooms and Leafy Veg.

3. Toss the whole mixture into your rice that's inside the rice cooker and mix. Add water as you would as if cooking plain white rice and turn on the rice cooker and sit back and wait for your Pumpkin rice to cook!

4. Once the rice is done, what I usually like to do is stir the rice so the bottom doesn't get burnt and also when you mix up the rice after it's cooked, the pumpkins begin to 'melt' and get mashed into the rice grains giving them a nice light orangey/yellow colour.
