Method
- Heat oil and cook onion, garlic, and ginger until soft and fragrant.
- Add shrimp or smoked fish if using and cook briefly; remove shrimp after it turns pink so it does not overcook.
- Add squash and coconut milk. Simmer covered until the squash is very tender.
- Mash most of the squash against the side of the pot, leaving some small pieces for texture.
- Return shrimp if used, add coconut cream and chilies, and simmer gently until thick but spoonable.
- Fold in greens and season with fish sauce and pepper.
- Rest 5 minutes and serve with rice.
