  • Kabocha squash is the perfect vegetable to take us from late Summer into Fall, although it is usually available year round. I'll show you three simple and fast ways to make it: roasted and drizzled with maple syrup, melt-in-your-mouth steamed, and a comforting kabocha miso soup. This tender and healthy Japanese pumpkin is easy to make and perfect for vegetarians, vegans, and meat eaters alike.
    All prep:
    Don’t remove the skin if you don’t want to.
    Split and remove the seeds of the squash. They can be cleaned, roasted at 350°f with coated with oil with some salt for 20 minutes.
    Chop the Kabocha into smaller pieces.
    Roast:
    Coat the squash in oil and spices (garam masala, real el hanout, smoked paprika, Aleppo pepper)
    Roast at 375° for 45 minutes
    Drizzle maple syrup and serve
    Steam:
    Place a bowl in a Steamer and drizzle with Chinese cooking wine or mentsuyu.
    Steam for 20-30 minutes
    Miso soup
    Boil squash for 45 minutes, add Dashi or mushroom powder if desired
    Add miso paste to the water. About 1tbsp per 2 quarts.

      The big pumpkiny squashes are all referred to as varieties of 'pumpkin' in Australia. Including butternut. 'Squash' pretty much only refers to the little yellow pattypans.

    „You can never take salt away, you can only add salt into your food“
    This stood out to me so much, cause it’s literally what my grandma used to tell me, whenever she showed me how to make a dish. I’m not even sure if this woman owns any measuring tools. I wholeheartedly believe, grandmas just know how to cook naturally 😂

    Kabocha miso soup is soooo good. And I say that as someone who doesn't really like mixing my sweet and savory flavor profiles. But my mom made this once last winter and she didn't even add any tofu or kombu, nothing, just the kabocha and it really made it into a more substantial winter (or fall) recipe. I would definitely recommend adding the rest of the usual traditional ingredients but if you just have kabocha (or other similar squash) to the miso soup, it would be good just like that.
    Also, I suggest adding a small serving of rice to any leftover soup in your bowl. My dad told me it's not really good manners to do this because it's associated with poor people (because adding rice to the soup will help make you feel full). But I never personally cared all that much about the association since 1) we are poor, 2) it tastes good that way, and 3) it's a good way to not waste any leftover soup. Actually, doing this reminds me of people adding rice to the grill at k-bbq to make bokkeumbap...

    I just bought my first Kabocha last week. Absolutely heavenly!
    Actually, I’d never had winter squash, so I bought one of all the available types, roasted them all, and had a taste test. Kabocha was my hands down favorite.
    I ended up making a purée of them all and making a coconut curry soup.
    I’m definitely going to try all of these ideas ❤

    Stewed squash in coconut milk with ginger, onion, garlic, shrimp, dried anchovie (optional), moringa leaves, and chives. Use half water half coconut milk when boiling when boiling. Then simmer with the whole coconut milk and drop the chives at the end of cooking. It will be sweet, salty, soft and fragrant. It's best during rainy season and monsoon because buckets of shrimp, langoustine, and sea mantis are cheap or free you if you can comb the waves during lowtide.

I don't have all the ingredients, but I'm going to go with five spice, smoked paprika, chili powder and maple syrup to roast these.

    I think these are native to South America, if I'm not mistaken. In Paraguay where I grew up, it's called zapallo and we make lots of things with it. Soup, stuffed, jam, caramelized chunks, etc.

    • @atinycrow
      @atinycrow 2 года назад +12

      Yup! All squash are native to Mesoamerica, where they were domesticated 10,000 years ago. Portuguese sailors introduced kabocha to Japan in 1541. The Portuguese called it Camboja abóbora, which got turned into the Japanese loan word カボチャ(南瓜), kabocha.

    • @soyarysunthorn

      To add, Camboja abobora is Portuguese for Cambodian pumpkin, from where they brought to Japan.

    Maple syrup grades had to do with the time of the season the sap was harvested (a = early season, b = mid season, c = late season). Now they're all called "Grade A" because people thought that B or C meant inferior to A (it was confusing to people who didn't know any better), but you can still tell by the colour (darker colour = more maple flavour and harvested late season, while lighter colour = more straightforward sweetness, less maple flavour, and harvested early season).
