Sweet Coco Pumpkin with Pandan Leaves

Ingredients

Method

Cut the pumpkin in half and remove seeds. Cut each half into strips. Peel the strips. Cut the strips into cubes.

Te Bua Toro ni Baukin
(We didn't make this one.)

Ingredients (for 6 persons)
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
6 tablespoons powdered milk
1 1/2 lb grated pumpkin (about 1 medium pumpkin)
1 1/2 lb shredded cabbage (about 1 medium cabbage)
1 lemon
1 tin meat (SPAM) or 1/2 lb corned beef

Directions
Peel pumpkin and grate flesh into a dish, or if the pumpkin is large, cut the top and carve the inside. Drain excess water from grated pumpkin. Shred cabbage and add to grated pumpkin. Add flour, tinned meat (or diced corned beef), powdered milk (or soy milk), cabbage and baking powder to the pumpkin. Mix all together. Add salt, pepper and lemon juice.
