CURRIED KABOCHA



Curried Kabocha image

Kabocha is my favorite squash/pumpkin. Serve this as a vegetarian main dish with rice or add some meat to it. It can also be a great side dish to replace your potatoes when eating red meat. Me and hubby like it, not really the kids.

Tips:

  • Choose the right kabocha squash: Look for a squash that is deep green in color and has a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid squash that has any cracks or blemishes, as these can indicate that the squash is not fresh or has been damaged.
  • Prepare the kabocha squash: To prepare the kabocha squash, first cut it in half lengthwise. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp. Once the squash is prepared, you can either peel it or leave the skin on. If you choose to peel the squash, use a sharp knife to carefully remove the skin.
  • Cook the kabocha squash: There are several ways to cook kabocha squash. You can roast it, steam it, or boil it. Roasting brings out the squash's natural sweetness, while steaming or boiling it results in a more tender texture. No matter which method you choose, be sure to cook the squash until it is tender.
  • Make the red curry paste: The red curry paste is a key ingredient in this dish. You can either make your own red curry paste or use a store-bought paste. If you are making your own paste, be sure to use fresh ingredients and grind them finely. The red curry paste should be fragrant and have a slightly spicy flavor.
  • Assemble the dish: Once the kabocha squash and red curry paste are prepared, you can assemble the dish. Simply add the cooked squash, red curry paste, coconut milk, and vegetable broth to a pot and bring to a simmer. Then, add the tofu and vegetables and cook until the vegetables are tender. Finally, stir in the lime juice and cilantro and serve.

Conclusion:

This kabocha squash red curry is a delicious and nutritious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The squash is tender and slightly sweet, while the red curry paste adds a spicy and flavorful kick. The dish is also packed with vegetables, making it a healthy and satisfying meal. Whether you are a fan of Thai food or simply looking for a new way to cook kabocha squash, this dish is sure to please.
