    Love how this video is focused on one vegetable! It’s like a crash course on a new vegetable. I’m not very adventurous with new foods so this is helpful!

    • @RainbowPlantLife
      @RainbowPlantLife  5 років тому +1

      I'm so happy the crash course was helpful :) Going vegan really opened up my eyes to all the wonderfully interesting vegetables out there. Hope you enjoy trying kabocha squash out!

    Wow! I love your delivery. You get right to the point without delay. Wish more people did this on UA-cam. Terrific, healthy recipe. I just had Kabocha last night for the first time. I roasted it with onions and asparagus, EVOO, s & p. I have to say I don't love the flavor It tastes like pumpkin to me, (even smells like pumpkin) and has no sweetness at all. No "nutty" tones. I much prefer butternut, but glad I tried Kabocha. Now I know. Thanks for your post. I love curries, too. :)

    My dad grows these orange squashes, and our garden is always all over the place, because it takes so much space. One year we also had grown this scquash on apple tree, it was funny to see how the scquash wanted to crawl everywhere 😊 nice recipes btw 👍

  • @bxw2721
    @bxw2721 Рік тому +1

    I would microwave the whole pumpkin for a few minutes first so that it will soften a little bit for cutting. Depending on the size of the pumpkin and your microwave voltage , I would start with 2 minutes at a time. I hope this is helpful.

      @@oliviamartino4355 I think it should work for the curry! Not exactly sure about the banana bread though since it's less sweet and the texture is more watery.

    I love your channel and videos but here I have to share my tip, I don't try to cut the kabocha before cooking it, I actually put it whole in a steamer and voilà, I cut it afterwards, not only is it safer, faster but it is healthier AND "yummier" (?), in fact, it's so delicious the squash doesn't need ANY ingredient, just like chestnuts, good as is, fabulous, my favorite fall, winter food! I eat one about once a week!

    • @RainbowPlantLife
      @RainbowPlantLife  5 років тому

      Thank you for the tip! What kind of steamer do you use? I have tried kabocha squash steamed but I prefer it roasted (I prefer most vegetables roasted hehe), but willing to give it another try :)

  • @motivatedtocomment
    @motivatedtocomment 2 роки тому

    Roast the squash and then peel, very easy for those without the required upper body strength, just pop in oven whole and keep refrigerated to use in soups and sauces as needed

    Fun Fact:
    Kabocha comes originally from South American (not Japan). In Latin America it is called Auyama. In the United States it is called Squash. Latin people cook it especially in Beans and soups slow cooked for hours.

    Hmmm…, That looks more like a Buttercup Squash. Kabocha Squash look a bit different. I used to live in Japan (where they are from) and I grow Kabocha Squash myself so I’m real familiar with them. I have one sitting on my countertop now. Asian Markets like H-Mart etc. usually sell them. Ck Google Images. Do you have a Vegan Pizza Recipe? I’ve looked through your videos and don’t see one. Please make one of you haven’t already! Thanks! (-:

    • @StoryeTime
      @StoryeTime 5 років тому

      Honestly I don't cut it, I steam it first, whole, in a steamer, than I cut it, it's so much better, and faster, it's healthier and wow, so delicious, the skin is so yummy etc and because it retained all its flavor it doesn't need anything else, I don't even add salt to it, nothing (and I'm a salt and pepper person!)

    This is sad. i needed to learn how to cut a Kabocha Squash... but i only heard about 20% of what you said. Stunnning woman with an equally great, engaging personality. i still have no clue how to cut this tough-skinned squash... but i think she said something about using your core. lol. i'll listen again and pay attention this time.

    You don’t even need to smash it. It’s so creamy that you can just mush it up with a fork.
