Ginataang Kalabasa at Hipon with Tofu
"A creamy and flavorful Filipino stew featuring tender pumpkin and succulent shrimp simmered in coconut milk, enriched with silken tofu for added protein and a smoother texture. This dish is low in carbohydrates and packed with nutrients."
Preparation Steps
Heat cooking oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté garlic and onion until fragrant.
Add the cubed pumpkin and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the coconut milk and water. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the fish sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
Cover the pot and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.
Add the shrimp and sliced chili pepper (if using). Cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink and is cooked through.
Gently add the silken tofu cubes and simmer for 1-2 minutes more, just to heat through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot.
