Simmered Kabocha (Kabocha no Nimono)
Report
With sweet, creamy blocks of kabocha squash and meaty chunks of atsuage tofu, this nimono, or Japanese simmered kabocha, is an easy and delicious way to cook this winter squash.

Ingredients
- 500 grams kabocha squash (cut into 1-½-inch cubes)
- 300 grams atsuage (cut into 1-½-inch cubes)
- 2 cups dashi stock
- ¼ cup sake
- 2 tablespoons usukuchi soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon evaporated cane sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Add the dashi, sake, soy sauce, sugar, and salt to a pot that will fit the kabocha and tofu in a single layer and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add the cubed kabocha and atsuage and cover the ingredients with a drop lid to keep the ingredients submerged. Lower the heat as needed to maintain a bare simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the kabocha is tender enough for a toothpick to pass through.
- Turn off the heat and let the kabocha nimono cool to room temperature. I recommend letting the kabocha and tofu soak in the liquid overnight in the fridge, but you can also reheat it and serve it the same day if you're in a rush.
