Over the next few days I will post several Japanese inspired recipes, that I served as part of a Bento Box lunch
The first is very simple and can be part of a Bento Box lunch or served as an interesting side with any meal. It is cooked in the Varoma and can be finished off in a frying pan.
300 to 500g of peeled , deseeded butternut pumpkin. Cut into 2 cm cubes.
60 g of any sugar, ( white, brown , raw)
1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, ( if not available use 1/2 dark or mushroom soy and thin with white wine or rice vinegar )
1/2 cup of water
Place all , except sesames ,in heat proof dish that will fit into Varoma.
Place 2 bamboo skewers under dish in Varoma to allow steam to circulate.
Pour 1 1/2 liters of boiling water into bowl and steam for 20/30 minutes. Stir 1/2 way through.
Test pumpkin with skewer to see that it is just cooked.
At this point, tip into frying pan and boil rapidly to evaporate most of the liquid. Serve
OR
Store and reheat by evaporating liquid as above.
Sprinkle with roasted sesame seeds.
