Recipes > Japanese Recipes > Japanese Side Dishes
TRADITIONAL JAPANESE RECIPE: Kabocha is a variety of squash or what you call Japanese pumpkin. It is green skinned and weighs an average of 2-3 pounds. It’s skin is edible when cooked. Gohan is the Japanese word for rice. This is what you refer to as a mixed rice dish, where ingredients are added and cooked with the rice.
Kabocha, the sweet Japanese squash, is a very versatile vegetable. You can simmer it in seasoned dashi broth ( Kabocha no Nimono ), or use it for salads, Tempura, or sweets like cakes and pies. It is great to know a variety of recipes, because using up a whole Kabocha can be challenging.
Kabocha Gohan is a very easy to make rice dish that you can make in no time.
