    Mod's Mods for this Stir-fried Pumpkin Recipe

    Mod said she saw this recipe at a market in Thailand but didn't eat it because she's not a pumpkin fan.  I ate all of this recipe though and really liked it.  Of course, Mod Modified it a little by changing the ingredients from the recipe on this Thai website.   As usual, the modifications were to make it a bit healthier.  If you know other Mod's we could have used let us know in the comments section below please.  🙂

    • 6 eggs or egg whites

    5.  Pour the low-sodium chicken stock into the wok.
