Cooking tips
- Do not microwave the kabocha squash too long, as it may become mushy—just 2 minutes is enough.
- Steaming the kabocha squash upside down prevents droplets of condensation from falling inside, preserving its sweetness and creating a fluffier texture.
- Since the skin is eaten, be sure to scrub it thoroughly using vinegar or baking soda during washing.
