Ingredients:

1. 南瓜 1顆 A Squash (I used pumpkin to cook this dish when in Canada, but using squash taste better and more Taiwanese.)

2. 洋蔥 3粒 3 Onions (optional, normally not used in Taiwanese recipes)

3. 米粉 適量 Some Dried Rice Noodle (Soak the dried rice noodle in a bowl of cool water first.)

I didn't add meat or seafood this time. But ground meat (beef or pork, canned tuna can be used instead), dried mushrooms, carrots, green onions are also ingredients normally used for the dish.

Steps:

1. Since it's hard to chop a squash into piece with a fruit knife. I cooked it with a rice cooker first so that it would become soft enough to cut through.

2. Normally this is the first step. Pre-heated the Rice Cooker and add the onions, and grounded meat/canned tuna. Stir the ingredients till the onions are soft.

3. Add the chopped squash pieces. And let the rice cooker do it's job. (One can just wonder away and do whatever needs to be done.)

4. Add the soaked riced noodle into the rice cooker and cook with all the ingredients. Stir them together when all is well cooked.

Seasoning

1. Salt

2. Soy Sauce

3. Sugar

Personally I'd add some soy sauce while cooking grounded beef/pork/canned tuna with onions/green onions. Then add some salt and sugar afterwards when all the ingredients are in the rice cooker. That would add some flavours and increase the depth of the taste. But cooking is quite free style, it depends on whatever one likes to do.
