02 - Cut off all the sharp edges of the pieces.
03 - In a pot, boil the Dashi ( Recipe Here ) and put the Kabocha in to boil.
04 - Cover until tender at medium heat, about 20-30 minutes depending on the Kabocha.
05 - Add Sugar, Soy Sauce, Salt and Sake.
06 - Reduce the heat to medium low, and cook for another 15 -20 minutes until the broth has reduced a little.
07 - Remove from heat and let it sit covered until cool.
Notes:
- The Kabocha will absorb more of the flavor from the broth, so the longer you leave it the tastier it will be, but don't leave it there forever.
- Feel free to reheat before serving.
