    My mom grows these every year. I love them roasted in wedges too. A sweet variety is in a dessert soup. It is a soup base of coconut milk with mang beans, tapioca, and the kabocha squash. It tastes amazing hot or cold.

    I really appreciate this! I just took a risk and bought some kobocha but I haven't tried cooking it yet. Grew up eating sweet potatoes. Squashes are new to me. This makes me feel braver about preparing it.

  • @PagoCitiesSkylines2
    @PagoCitiesSkylines2 8 місяців тому +1

    My first thought was to cube it up really small and put it in sushi. It would be great in a spicy tuna roll format. It would also be good in a squash soup with a blend of other squashes.
    I could see kabocha mixed with maybe butternut, acorn, delicata, spaghetti, and even Humboldt squashes. Throw in some buffalo and rice and maybe the roasted seeds of all of the squashes. Man, I am an ideas machine.

    my favourite vegetable ever!!!! I cook the whole squash in my steam pan, when it's already soft I run some cold water over it. Then, I cut into smaller pieces, add seasoning and return it to the steam pan just to get everything together.

    Hi, thanks for taking the time to share the wonderful video, I did not know it was a winter squash because I am growing them in the summer in intense Texas heat for the first time and they are doing very well, it's my favorite. I will attempt to grow them year around. I love this squash there is always at least one squash in my kitchen and yes they are sweet like a sweet potato.

    I've just split my squash in half and dug out the seeds. I am going to bake it for 30 minutes in a 400* oven (thanks for the info) then I am going to put the whole thing in my VitaMix and make soup. I think I will season with curry, garlic, salt, pepper, turmeric and maybe a bit of cinnamon and fresh nut meg.

    I tried this squash on a whim at the farmer's market 2 years ago and I have been HOOKED ever since. That flavor example is spot on. I am amazed how you really don't need sugar with it or very little. I have put it in muffins and man oh man is it good. Pancakes...super and alone with sliced bananas for breakfast taste great and filling.

    I love Kabocha squash. I eat at least one every week because it helps my digestion system. I basically cut it in wedges and boil with a pinch of salt. The ones I eat have very green skin color. Unfortunately, they are not always available at my groceries, so I am growing them in my garden.

    @Melonzs123 7 років тому +2

    These remind me of Dominican pumpkins(Auyama). They have the same dark green outside and insides but the sizes vary.One of my favorite things to make with this is a mash, where you steam/boil them, then add a bit of butter and milk.(similar to mash potatoes) You could eat this alone but one my favorite things to do is add some lightly fried onions (that have been cooked with a like TB of vinegar& a pinch of salt). It totally balances the sweetness of the mash with the saltiness the onions. It's a great side dish.

    Hello, new subscriber here! I've never tried kabocha squash, but you make it seem so simple to cook and delicious that I think I might give it a try! I hope I find it somewhere in my local grocery departments though; you really can't find a lot of exotic things in rural Kentucky.

    That Kabocha Pumpkin very much reminds me of and seem very much similar to the Caribbean Pumpkin called "Calabaza" which is also a sweet Pumpkin with rich flavor and don't taste anything like North American squash or pumpkin. It looks so similar and from the open cut and seeds almost seem like same Pumpkin. You can use it like a Potato, it's sweet so make Mash Pumpkin like a potato, soups, use in soups or in Rice for pumpkin flavored rice with heavenly orange color. You can even make Pumpkin Pancakes or Pumpkin Fritters like in the Caribbean. A natural sweet Pumpkin with rich flavor gives allot of uses.
