Pumpkin Simmered in Coconut Milk
Put the water and the coconut milk in a medium-sized pan over low heat. Add the salt and half of the sugar; stir until well combined. Adjust the sweetness to your liking by add more water or sugar if necessary.
Add the julienned pumpkin to the pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until soft, about 5 to 10 minutes depending on both the texture of the pumpkin and your own preference.
The pumpkin may be served hot, warm, or cold.

The trick to this simple recipe is using a flavorful pumpkin. I've found that pumpkins straight from the patch are the best. They seems to be left on the vine longer, which allows their flavor to develop.
