Kabocha Squash Simmered in Coconut Milk - A Taste of the Phillipines

This is "ginataang kalabasa," my favorite Filipino dish. It goes well with rice, but I recommend serving this with bread.
You can really enjoy the good combination of kabocha squash and coconut milk. If you cook it too much, the kabocha squash will become syrupy and melt away. So, make sure to cook so that the kabocha squash is slightly firm and not falling apart. Recipe by Hoink

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Remove the fibrous parts out of the kabocha squash, peel, and cut into bite-sized pieces. I weighed mine and it was 400 g. Thinly slice the onion, and roughly mince the garlic.
- 2
Put the vegetable oil, onion, garlic, and sakura shrimp into a frying pan and sauté over heat. Once the garlic is slightly browned, add the kabocha squash.
- 3
Stir fry lightly. Once the surface of the kabocha squash becomes slightly translucent, add 2 tablespoons of coconut milk. Cover the pan and cook for 5 minutes over low heat.
- 4
Cook until the kabocha squash is slightly firm when poked with a chopstick. Add the rest of the coconut milk and season with salt.
- 5
Cover the pan again, and cook for 5 more minutes to finish ♪ Ideally, the kabocha squash should be firm enough so that it won't fall apart when you flip them over.

My grandma's simmered dishes contain brown sugar and they are sweet.

I learned the taste from her, and I sometimes cook it with brown sugar to make it sweet.The brown sugar adds rich flavour to the dish. It's a little bit sweet so please adjust the flavour to your liking. Using brown sugar and sugar instead of using only brown sugar makes the flavour a little bit lighter.

I made this recipe because I was chosen as a cooking tester for the artificial sweetener Pal Sweet. This doesn't use curry roux, so the curry is low in calories.If you prefer it spicy, add little more curry powder.If you don't like spicy food, put more sugar to make the curry mild and it will be easier to eat.Don't reduce the amount of curry powder, because the result would be something different from curry.It is delicious to put in other green vegetables instead of the kabocha squash.
