  1. 1

    Remove the seeds from 700 g kabocha pumpkin, cut it into large pieces, and steam it for 15 minutes.

    Add part of the measured 950 ml water to the cooked pumpkin and mash or blend until no large pieces remain.

    Dissolve 70 g sweet rice flour in a cold portion of the measured 950 ml water and stir until smooth.

    Mix in 1 tsp ginger juice, 0.5 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp sugar. Divide it among four bowls and distribute 20 g pine nuts over them.
