Just 20 min for mum’s taste.
Japanese typical home dish, simmered pumpkin. It’s soft and sweet.
Try my easy (lazy?) way 😛
Remove the pumpkin seeds and cut the pumpkin into bite-size.
(If you like, you can bevel the edges of the pumpkin, it helps to remain the shape while simmering.
it looks nicer, but! I prefer to cook in shorter time –> so I don’t.)
Place the pumpkin with the skin side down in the pot.
Pour enough water into the pot.
Seasonings are just these.
Easy!
2 table spoons of soy sauce.
2 table spoons of Mirin
2 table spoons of honey (or sugar)
Once it boiled, cover with a drop-lid and simmer over a low heat.
If you don’t have drop-lid, you can use aluminium foil in stead.
This is my favorite drop-lid with pig face on it ↓
Steam can go through from his nose.
Put back the lid again and keep simmer for about 10 min.
Check if it is cooked. Mmm, it looks bit more to cook.
You can eat now, but try to leave this for 30 to hour.
Taste become better !!
