Ingredients

  1. 1Kabocha squash (I used the Bo-chan variety)
  2. 1/2 eachCarrot, celery
  3. 1/4Onion
  4. 100 gramsGround pork
  5. 1 cloveGarlic
  6. 50 gramsCanned whole tomatoes in water
  7. 1 tbspVegetable oil
  8. 2 tbspKetchup
  9. 1/2 tspeach Salt, chili powder, sugar
  10. 1 tspSoy sauce
  11. 1Pepper
  12. 1desired amount Easy melting cheese

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the top of the pumpkin about 1 cm to create a lid. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds.

  2. 2

    Combine the vegetable oil, garlic, tomato, ground meat, and the vegetables in that order and simmer the mixture until the liquid simmers and evaporates. Add the flavoring and continue heating.

  3. 3

    Add about 1cm of the mixture to the kabocha, then cover with cheese. Continue to layer the filling in this manner, but make sure that the top layer isn't cheese.

  4. 4

    Cook in the oven at 390°F/200°C for about one hour. The face (the lid) crumbles easily and so needs less cooking time. Bake in the last 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    If you can insert a skewer cleanly through the pumpkin, add cheese to the top and put it back into the oven to melt it in residual heat.

  6. 6

    This is what it looks like after cutting.
