  • Add the pumpkin cut in cubes, season with salt and pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the eggplant and mushrooms cut in chunks and cook for another 10 minutes or until all the vegetables are soft but most of the water they release has evaporated.
  • Add the curry sauce and the water and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the glass noodles, cover the pot and cook on medium heat only for five minutes. Give it a nice stir and it’s done!
  • If it starts drying out or you simply want it looser, add some water little by little until it reaches the consistency you like.

Serve with some lime wedges to squeeze on it as you eat it and cilantro leaves if you like it.
