Notes
No need to Peel the kabocha.
You can pre-cook the kabocha squash in the microwave. To do so, prick the skin in several places with a fork or a knife. Microwave on high power for 5-7 minutes, turning it over half way through. Microwave until there is a slight give to the skin.Ā
You can also bake the whole squash at 350Ā°F for 30 minutes, at which point it becomes soft and is easy to cut in half, scoop seeds out, and dice.
