Kabocha

Here’s a simple-to-prepare, super delicious recipe for preparing kabocha squash from IG's @erekav

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 kabocha squash

  • 2 cups dashi or light chicken broth

  • 1 cup mirin

  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce

  • 3 Tbsp honey

  • sea salt and black toasted sesame seeds. White sesame seeds work too - just less dramatic ;)


INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place kabocha pieces into a pan skin side down in one layer. 

  2. Cover (don’t drown) with simmering liquid. 

  3. Bring to a boil then down to a simmer. 

  4. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until tender, but not mushy. 

  5. Remove from heat and let the squash sit in the liquid until you serve it.
