Pick a tender pumpkin and cook up the full flavor of summer’s warmth and simplicity 【叫我阿霞Channel】

The summer pumpkins are at their most tender, and A Xia went out early to pick a few for some home-cooked dishes. Stir-fried beef with tender pumpkin, sautéed pumpkin tips, and my favorite—ham with “cat’s ear” pasta—are all childhood flavors I grew up with. Mom used to make this for me often, and I loved it even more than rice. Today, our whole family sits around the table, each with a bowl in hand, the aroma filling the air—even Golden can’t resist the temptation.
