Step 3

Put ginger, garlic and chicken drumsticks together in a fresh-keeping bag. Season with bean paste, white sugar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, Chinese cooking wine and chicken essence for half an hour. Better if it is marinated overnight. If the room temperature is too high, it is recommended to refrigerate and marinate in the refrigerator to avoid spoilage.

Step 4

During marinating, cut the pumpkin into thin slices with a thickness of about 5 mm. Cut it and place it evenly on the bottom of the bowl. Pumpkin slices should not be cut too thick or too thin. If it is too thick, chicken legs may be cooked and pumpkin slices are not cooked yet. Too thin may cause the pumpkin slices to steam too badly, which will affect the appearance.
