Steaming and then sautéing the kabocha transforms it from a humble pumpkin to a comfort food. Enjoy the warmth that this brings to your system. 

Yields5 Servings
 1 kabocha squash
 1 tbsp oil
 1 large onion
 1/2 tsp salt
 2 tsp mushroom powder
 2 tbsp butter
1

Chop the pumpkin. If you're unsure how, learn from Master Lu in this video. Though unlike the video, leave the skin on: Eating For Healing Kabocha Squash

2

Steam the pumpkin. Watch for when it's soft and when you can put a fork in. You may need to steam the vegetable in two batches, if you have a small steamer.

3

Warm the oil with half the salt in a large pan. Add the onions.

4

Caramelize the onions. Sauté to soften them, and then raise the heat to a loud sizzle. Cover the pan, lower the heat, and stir every now and then until they brown. Add a tablespoon of water if they start to stick. 

5

Once the onions are browned, add the steamed pumpkin to the pan. Stir in the butter and the mushroom seasoning and salt.

6

Serve while it's warm.
