Steamed Egg with Minced Chicken & Pumpkin

This dish primarily supports digestive health through its soft, easy-to-digest texture and the inclusion of fiber-rich pumpkin, with secondary benefits for metabolism from high-quality animal protein.

Functional Pathway Link:
Soft texture makes it gentle on the gut; pumpkin provides prebiotic fiber to support digestion, while chicken supplies complete protein for tissue repair.

Allergen Information: Egg, soy (optional).
Skip soy sauce or use coconut aminos if needed.

Notes:
A familiar comfort dish across Asian households—suitable for young children, elderly, or anyone with sensitive digestion. Add tofu or soft-cooked rice on the side for a fuller meal.
