Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the kabocha squash up with the skin on into about 5 cm pieces. Finely chop the ginger.
- 2
Put the sugar in a cold pan and turn the heat on to medium. When the sugar is melted and starts to bubble, add the ground pork and ginger.

Don't touch it to start with. When the meat at the bottom starts to change color, mix it all up and cook until the fat coming out of the pork is transparent.
- 4
Add the soy sauce, sake, and dashi stock granules to flavor the ground pork well.
- 5
Put the kabocha squash in the pan in a single layer. Add enough water to cover the kabocha squash, and cook over low-medium heat for about 15 to 20 minutes.
- 6
When a bamboo skewer goes through a piece of squash easily, taste and add more soy sauce if needed.
- 7
Turn the heat down to low. Push the kabocha squash to one side of the pan and slowly add some katakuriko dissolved in an equal amount of water as the cooking liquid, and stir. Once thickened, simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.

Transfer the kabocha squash to serving plates, pour the ground meat sauce over, and it's done.

Cod with Vegetable Ankake Sauce Cod with Vegetable Ankake Sauce
I combined in-season cod with some vegetables I had in the refrigerator, to make a Japanese-style dish.If you prefer to have lots of sauce, double the sauce ingredients.The key is to not flip the cod over too often when it's cooking. Leave it alone so that it can brown on one side, then turn over and brown the other side. This way they won't fall apart, and will have a crispy finish.If you want the vegetables to be crispy, don't stir fry them or simmer them in the sauce for too long. Recipe by oldice cookpad.japan -

Fried Pork and Aburaage Spirals with Ankake Thick Sauce Fried Pork and Aburaage Spirals with Ankake Thick Sauce
I wasn't sure if there would be enough meat for four people just by frying it, so I decided to use it together with aburaage that I always have in the freezer.Additonal points: I rolled the meat in katakuriko in Steps 2 and 3, but it's not really necessary since it'll stick together without it.Remove the excess oil and squeeze well! If you skip this, you'll notice the distinctive smell of the aburaage and it'll taste a bit funny.Be sure to check out Steps 3 and 4 well.Spoon on the piping hot ankake sauce just before serving.The size of the meat will be different according to how it's cut, but generally, each roll needs 3-4 slices of thinly cut pork or 4-5 slices of pork belly.
