Ingredients

  • 1/4 - 1/3 Kabocha (Japanese pumpkin)
  • 1 Japanese cucumber or 2 small cucumbers
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp mayonnaise (preferably Japanese mayo)
  • black pepper to taste (optional)

Instructions 

  • Cut Kabocha into small pieces and place in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and cook about 6 minutes in the microwave oven or until soft. Remove skins and mash Kabocha (you don't need to mash all the way if you want it chunky).
  • Slice cucumber thinly and sprinkle with salt in another bowl. Let it sit for a few minutes and squeeze water out.
  • Mix Kabocha, cucumber, lemon juice and mayonnaise. Salt and pepper to taste.
