My bento box was a little bigger than I thought, so I made this dish out of desperation!

When heating in the microwave, adjust the time according to the weight and size of the kabocha pieces. If they're big pieces, you can steam or boil them and then cut them up again later. Recipe by Yomehunch

Steps

1

Remove the hard part of the kabocha skin and slice thinly. This time, I used pre-sliced kabocha to make it easier.
2

Put on a heatproof plate and with a little bit of water sprinkled on top. Lightly wrap with plastic wrap and microwave.
3

Melt some butter in a frying pan and add the microwaved kabocha from Step 2.
4

When the kabocha is cooked and slightly browned, add salt and pepper to taste, add the black sesame seeds, and mix to finish.
5

Place into a small cup for bentos.

These are great for a snack or side dish.
