JAPANESE STYLE SIMMERED SWEET KABOCHA

This is a Japanese style sweet and savory pumpkin recipe. Kabocha has slightly sweet taste, and it is cooked in many different ways in Japanese cuisine. For example, tempura is a popular way to cook kabocha. Cut kabocha into thin slices to make tempura. Also, simmering is a common way. Kabocha tend to keep its shape even if it's simmered. This is a great side dish to accompany a Japanese meal.

Steps:

  • Cut kabocha into small chunks about 1 and 1/2 inch cube.
  • Leave skin on (the texture of the cooked skin is great!).
  • Put dashi soup stock, sugar, soy sauce, and kabocha chunks in a pan.
  • Place the pan in high heat and bring it to boil.
  • Turn down the heat to low.
  • Simmer kabocha until the liquid is almost gone.
  • Serve warm or cold. (I prefer it cold).

SIMMERED KABOCHA SQUASH WITH SCALLIONS

When you can't eat one more roasted winter vegetable, this bright, fragrant soup-stew does the trick. It's from "A Common Table" by Cynthia Chen McTernan, who publishes a food blog called Two Red Bowls. Kabocha, which she calls her "soul-mate squash," has a special earthy texture and a nutty flavor, but you could also do this with buttercup squash. Serve as a side dish, or as a light dinner with freshly cooked rice and a fried egg.

Simmered Kabocha Squash With Scallions image

Steps:

  • In a wide skillet or wok, heat the oil over high heat until shimmering. Add the squash and toss with a spatula until evenly coated with oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized, 5 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the scallions. Stir, then add 1/2 cup of broth and stir again. Adjust the heat to a simmer. If using skin-on squash, turn the pieces so that the skin is submerged; this allows them to cook evenly.
  • Cover and simmer until squash is tender and skin (if using) is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Check occasionally to make sure the pot isn't cooking dry; add broth as needed to keep the mixture simmering. The broth will reduce and thicken into a light sauce.
  • When cooked through, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, stir and taste the squash and the broth. Add salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, sprinkled with extra scallions. Ladle a little extra hot broth over each serving.

SIMMERED KABOCHA PUMPKIN AND FRIED TOFU WITH SWEET SOY SAUCE

This is a kind of traditional Japanese nimono. It's really good for lunchboxes too. You can get Japanese kabocha pumpkin at a Japanese market, Chinese market, or another Asian market. The dish is even better the next day as leftovers (served hot or cold).

  • Scrub/wash the kabocha squash clean and pat dry. Dice it into thin pieces, about ⅛-inch in thickness and 1.5 to 2-inches wide. If use Kabocha, leave the green color skin on. If use butternut or pumpkin, please peel the skin first.
  • Prepare scallions and ginger. For enoki mushrooms, trim away about 1-inch of the root section and dice the bundle in half. Use your fingers to roughly tear them into small bite size strings. Set aside ready to use. If use shiitake, thinly slice the caps.
  • In a well-heated large skillet, add oil. Saute ginger and white scallion parts with a pinch of salt over medium heat until fragrant, about 5-10 seconds.
  • Turn heat to medium-high, add ground meat. Season with 2 pinches of salt and use a wooden spoon to break up the meat. Saute until it’s no longer pink, about 2-3 minutes.

  • Bring to a boil then lower the heat to simmer. Cook the kabocha until a skewer goes through smoothly, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Cover with a lid and set aside to allow the flavor to slowly be absorbed. Let the kabocha squash cook slowly with the residual heat while it absorbs flavor from the shio koji. If you overcook the kabocha squash, it will get mushy and lose its shape and appeal. You can serve this dish cold, at room temperature, or warm.
