Scrape out the seeds from the pumpkin and generously remove the skin. Slice the pumpkin flesh lengthwise into thin slices using a slicer. Finely dice the ginger. Slice the white and light green parts of the spring onions into thin rings. Finely dice the ham and fry in about 30 ml of oil until crispy. Add the pumpkin, ginger, and spring onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper. Then remove and let cool. Chop the pumpkin seeds. Slice the apples thinly, mix with the lemon juice, and set aside. Trim the lamb’s lettuce and make a vinaigrette from the vinegar, salt, pepper, a pinch of sugar, and the remaining oil. Mix 2/3 of the vinaigrette with the pumpkin and apple slices. Pour the remaining vinaigrette over the lamb’s lettuce. Garnish with chopped pumpkin seeds.
