Kabocha Squash and Japanese Sweet Potato with Mentaiko Sauce
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
This is not a normal simmered dish. I wanted to create a dish that kids will enjoy using a seasonal kabocha squash and Japanese sweet potato, and I arrived at this recipe. Microwaving them makes this dish easy to make. The spicy, rich, and delicious pure mentaiko sauce brings out the natural delicious flavor in the ingredients!
Soaking the Japanese sweet potato in water after cutting reduces the bitterness and prevents it from changing colour. The kabocha squash skin is hard, so please be careful when you cut it. Please check the hardness of the kabocha squash and Japanese sweet potato while microwaving, and adjust the microwaving time accordingly. Recipe by Kadoya-seiyu

Satoimo (Taro) and Minced Meat Topped with Sweet Sauce
If daikon radish and ground meat covered in sauce is good then satoimo should be delicious, too!

I often use a mix of ground beef and ground pork.Of course it's okay to use fresh satoimo instead of the frozen variety. Recipe by rubi0314
