I wanted a side dish that would be easy to prepare but more than just a steamed dish.

Steps

1

Wash the kabocha and remove the seeds and fiber. Leave it damp and place in a plastic shopping bag, then microwave for 3 minutes.
2

If your microwave is powered at 500 W, the kabocha should be tender enough to slice with a knife now. It's just about right when the flesh is heated through and the middle is still a little hard.
3

Cut the kabocha into 2-3 mm slices.
4

Wash the mushrooms and cut the bottoms of the stems off.
5

Mince the garlic.
6

Melt butter in a frying pan, add the garlic and fry until fragrant, then add the kabocha and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper.
7

When the kabocha is slightly crisp, add the soy sauce and stir a little. Taste and add more soy sauce if needed.
8

Transfer the mixture to a plate and it's ready!
