JAPANESE STYLE SIMMERED SWEET KABOCHA
This is a Japanese style sweet and savory pumpkin recipe. Kabocha has slightly sweet taste, and it is cooked in many different ways in Japanese cuisine. For example, tempura is a popular way to cook kabocha. Cut kabocha into thin slices to make tempura. Also, simmering is a common way. Kabocha tend to keep its shape even if it's simmered. This is a great side dish to accompany a Japanese meal.

KABOCHA NO NIMONO - STEWED PUMPKIN/SQUASH (JAPAN)
This is the most common (& delicious!) method of cooking pumpkin in Japan. The usual hard-skinned variety of pumpkin/squash is best. You don't have to worry about peeling off all the skin - as long as you wash it & chop any rough bits, it's good enough to eat!
