Ingredients- 170g Kabocha Squash (or Pumpkin)
- 3 Hard-boiled Eggs
- 2 handfuls Cabbage (approx. 100g)
- 1 Tbsp Whole Grain Mustard
- 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the kabocha squash, remove the seeds, and place it in a microwave-safe container. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and microwave for about 10 minutes, or until fork-tender. Mash the cooked squash with a fork to create a smooth puree. (Microwave cooking time may vary based on your appliance.)
Step 2
Prepare 3 fresh hard-boiled eggs. Using pre-cooked eggs will make the preparation even quicker.
Step 3
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and mash them thoroughly with a fork until no large lumps remain. It’s important to mash them well so the yolk and white are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Wash the cabbage, pat it dry, and then finely shred or mince it. You can leave it slightly coarser if you prefer a bit of crunch.
Step 5
In a large bowl, combine the mashed kabocha squash, mashed hard-boiled eggs, and the prepared shredded cabbage. Add 1 tablespoon of whole grain mustard for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 6
Next, add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise to bring in creaminess and richness. Feel free to adjust the amount to your preference.
Step 7
Using a spatula or spoon, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Ensure the pumpkin, egg, and cabbage are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 8
Take a tortilla and make cuts with scissors from the edge inwards, about one-third of the way up, on four sections of the tortilla. This will help you fold it neatly.
Step 9
Spread a thin, even layer of the kabocha squash puree onto one side of the tortilla using a spoon. The subtle sweetness of the pumpkin enhances the overall taste of the sandwich.
Step 10
Spoon the cabbage and egg mixture generously over the pumpkin layer. Be careful not to overfill, so the wrap can be folded easily without spilling.
Step 11
Starting with the cut section closest to the filling, fold the small flap inward over the filling.
Step 12
Next, fold the larger flap over the smaller one to complete the wrap shape. Fold it snugly to keep the filling secure.
Step 13
Turn the wrap over so the seam side is down. Wrap it tightly in parchment paper or plastic wrap for easy handling and eating.
