Simmered Adzuki Beans & Kabocha Squash
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
This is a macrobiotic dish, but I often make it for my husband who's having pancreatic and liver problems.
I hear it's also effective against diabetes.
For the best taste and appearance don't mix it too much.
You'll taste a mild sweetness.
Basically, I don't use sugar, but if you prefer a sweeter taste, then it's fine to add beet sugar. Recipe by Cherrychan

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the adzuki beans well and drain in a strainer. Put them in a pot and heat on medium heat with 4 cups of water. (There's no need to refresh the water).
- 2
Once it's come to a boil, reduce to low heat and simmer until the beans are soft enough to smash between chopsticks. If the amount of water reduces below the level of the beans, add more water. Once it's finished simmering, add the salt.
- 3
Remove the seeds and pith from the kabocha. Cut into bite-sized pieces without removing the skin.
- 4
Add the pumpkin to the pot and increase to high heat. Once it comes to a boil, reduce to low heat and simmer until the kabocha is tender. Once there's only a little bit of liquid remaining, turn off the heat.

You can enjoy this with the natural sweetness of the kabocha squash without the need for sugar. My mother and little sister make this every morning to help with their constipation, so I had them share their recipe with me.The listed amounts yield a large portion, so you might be able to get away making half. I don't use sugar, but adding in raisins or dried apricots makes it really delicious. I think you can cook it in a shorter amount of time using a pressure cooker, but my teacher told me that my shoulders and hips would feel heavier if I made it in a pressure cooker. Recipe by Wao2 -
