I love kabocha squash, so I make this all the time.

Be careful not to burn yourself when you take the kabocha out from the microwave. Remove the peel once they're cooled.
Adjust the sugar depending on the sweetness of the kabocha. Kabocha is naturally sweet, so you don't need so much. Recipe by Manekinekonyan
