Notes

This is written as a vegetarian dish, so I have excluded fish sauce. However, this can be added at the last minute to balance flavors.
One can add minced Thai or birdseye peppers with the onions and bell pepper for a spicy taste boost.
I've used a peeled and chunked pumpkin here. It is simpler than peeling and chunking up a pumpkin and probably safer.
One could add protein, such as chicken, to the pumpkin or shrimp in the last 3-5 minutes of simmering.
One can also use a canned pumpkin and or lengthen it with veggie stock or chicken stock to make a pumpkin soup
