Sweet and delicious mini kabocha squash! Learn the easiest way to steam it! Perfect for a healthy snack or baby food.
Ingredients- 1 Mini Kabocha Squash (approx. 300-400g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your fresh mini kabocha squash. Wash it thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or dust. Pat it completely dry with a paper towel. Excess moisture can make the squash mushy when cooked, so be sure to dry it well.
Step 2
Get a microwave-safe dish ready. Place the washed and dried mini kabocha squash inside the dish. Ensure it sits stable within the container.
Step 3
Now, microwave it for about 2 minutes. This step partially cooks the squash, making it warm enough to easily remove the seeds. The exact time may vary slightly depending on the size of your squash.
Step 4
Carefully remove the dish from the microwave. Using a knife, cut off the top portion of the squash, like removing a lid. Then, use a spoon to scoop out and discard all the seeds and stringy insides. You can test for doneness by gently piercing the squash with a fork or skewer; it should go in easily if cooked.
