Roasted Kabocha with Soy Maple Butter is an easy and delicious way to eat Kabocha squash, also known as Japanese pumpkin. Kabocha is cut into bite sized pieces and coated with melted butter mixed with maple syrup, olive oil, and soy sauce. There are so many ways to cook Kabocha (see all of our Kabocha recipes here), but this is one of my favorites, and it’s probably the easiest!
2020 has been crazy for many people including us at Japanese Cooking 101. Who knew that a once-in-a-century kind of pandemic would swirl our lives into chaos this year? With two of us from different households working together to make our videos, we have taken some time off since the lock downs in the end of March in California. Our decision was simply to keep our immediate and extended family members and people surrounding us safe. We have been carefully watching numbers and the medical situation in California, and finally have decided to ease back into a modified version of our normal schedule of video makings. If you are regular visitors to our website and YouTube subscribers, thank you for your patience waiting so long. We are confident we can work together again safely in the well-ventilated kitchen with good precautions such as keeping social distances, wearing masks, and following good hygiene practices.
Roast Turkey Breast with Cranberry Soy Glaze is a great alternative dish to a traditional whole roast turkey. The brined succulent white meat with a sweet and tangy cranberry soy sauce can satisfy people who want regular baked turkey and others who want to try something new.
