Steps

1

Microwave the kabocha for 4-5 minutes with the skins still attached. Remove the skins if you like.
2

Cut the cheese into 1 cm squares. Smash up the kabocha once it has softened, and form into circular shapes, about 2 cm in diameter.
3

Add the cheese to the kabocha, and cover with panko while it is still warm. You can do up to this step the day before.
4

Add about 1 cm of oil to the bottom of a frying pan, and fry the croquettes. Once they have changed color, they're done.
5

If using an oven, it takes about 7 minutes to cook.
6

Shown above is toasted croquettes.
7

If you are baking them in the oven, then the panko will look just like toast.
8

When you coat in Step 7, they turn out brown instead of white.
