Seasonings

  • 4 Tablespoon Japanese mayonnaise HERE to buy!
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 5 g salted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon torigara soup base HERE to buy! If you don't have torigara soup base, you can substitute Bouillon!

Let's cook

  • Cut the Kabocha in half in order to remove the seeds first. Then, cut the kabocha into 2 inches (about 5cm) chunks.
    It is so hard to cut so please be careful not to cut your self!

  • After 5 minutes, take out the bowl from the microwave and make kabocha small pieces using spoon or fork.
    If you prefer to make the kabocha skin smaller, use a blender.

Wanna try something new😌? When people hear Kit Wanna try something new😌?

When people hear Kitsune don, it sounds weird because if you translate Kitsune, it simply means fox. But wait! Kitsune came from the look of the meal. 

There are some theories for why it is called ‘Kitsune’. One is Aburaage, deep-fried tofu pouch, is one of the fox’s favorite foods in folktales. The other is that Aburaage looks similar to a fox.

This meal is quite easy to make and tasty :) If you want to try a new recipe, this is a good one🤩
