Kabocha (Japanese Squash) Sashimi (Recipe) 豆乳のカボ刺し (レシピ)

I used Kanten (agar agar powder) to firm up the Kabocha (Japanese Squash). Kanten contains a lot of fiber, so it's really healthy! It cleanses your digestive tract and cures constipation ;)

This summer, cold foods that cool from inside of your body are popular in Japan. One of my favorite cold dish is Kabocha (Japanese Squash) Sashimi! It's my original recipe, so you may think it's weird, but I love it.

Some people asked me how it tastes like, it's just like eating avocado with soy sauce :D hehe

Kanten or agar agar powder, is a coagulant extracted from a seaweed called tengusa. It's different from gelatin that you have to boil it until the boiling point, or it won't firm up!

I hope you try it out!!!

Kabocha (Japanese Squash) Sashimi

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 20min + 60min refrigeration time
Number of servings: 4

Necessary Equipment:
mesh strainer

Ingredients:
400g (0.8lb.) Kabocha (Japanese Squash)
200cc soy milk (you can use milk)
4g (0.15oz.) kanten powder (agar agar powder)
soy sauce
wasabi

Directions:
1. Scoop out the seeds and microwave on medium (500W) for 3 minutes to make it easier to cut.
2. Cut the Kabocha (Japanese Squash) into large chunks and remove the skin. Place the chunks in a microwave-safe dish, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave on medium (500w) for 5 minutes until tender.
3. Mash the Kabocha (Japanese Squash) using a fork. Then push through the mesh strainer to strain.
4. Put soy milk in a pan and dissolve kanten powder in. Put on medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring well. Turn down the heat a little bit so that it won't dry out and simmer (stirring frequently) for 2 to 3 minutes.
5. Immediately, add the kanten mixture into mashed Kabocha (Japanese Squash) and mix well with spatula.
6. Pour the mixture into a square dish and cool in the fridge for about and hour to set.
7. Slice and serve with soy sauce and wasabi if you like.

Can I try banana

[ochikeron]

@taay1977 yeah, probably it works! you don't need soy sauce and wasabi, though. maybe chocolate?! hehe

[KingMiks]

is it sweet tasting

[ochikeron]

@KingMiks it is naturally sweet with kabocha flavor but not like dessert ;) you eat with soy sauce, so the final taste is more like sashimi.

[3sacrymovie]

can you just use milk not soy milk if can not be find?

[ochikeron]

@3sacrymovie milk is okay :D

[dhhs91]

@ochikeron I gotta tell you, I LOVE the chillout covers of famous songs that you use on your videos!

[sweetdenni]

It looks like you could make vegan tamago (egg) sushi with that pumpkin sashimi...

[sandreezyXP]

Interesting.



[ochikeron]

@teethinaboxx you can, but maybe not that rich in taste!

[teethinaboxx]

Can I use water instead of soy milk if not available on hand?

[myblahblahification]
