I made this so my children would enjoy eating kabocha. I made it mapo-tofu style .

If you want to make it less spicy, only use a half portion for the doubanjiang spicy bean paste. Double the amount if you want to make it spicier. For 2-3 people. Recipe by Nacchi sencho

Ingredients

2 servings
  1. 200 gramsKabocha squash
  2. 150 gramsGround pork
  3. 1/3Leek
  4. 1big thumb-sized piece Ginger
  5. 1/2 tspChinese chicken stock powder
  6. 1 tspDoubanjiang
  7. 1 tspSugar
  8. 1 tbspSake
  9. 1 tbspSoy sauce
  10. 1 tbspVegetable oil
  11. 1 tspSesame oil

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    These are the ingredients. I added chicken soup stock to 150 ml of water for the Chinese soup.

  2. 2

    Peel the kabocha while leaving bits and pieces of the skin here and there, and cut into 3 cm cubes. Finely chop the leeks and ginger.

  3. 3

    Heat up 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a nonstick pan, and saute the leeks and ginger. Once it has produced an aroma, add in the Doubanjiang spicy bean paste and saute.

  4. 4

    Add ground meat and saute some more. Once the meat has broken up, add kabocha.

  5. 5

    Once the kabocha is coated in oil, add the Chinese soup. Bring to a boil, add in 1 tablespoon of sake, cover with a lid, and boil over a low heat for about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    It is done if you can stick a bamboo skewer through a kabocha. Remove the lid and add 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, boil down over a strong heat until the broth evaporates.

  7. 7

    Once the broth has evaporated, swirl in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and it is done. Serve garnished with scallions and parsley.
