Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Place the chopped kabocha squash and water in a large pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Aproximativ 8 min.
2
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is very tender.
Aproximativ 20 min.
3
Carefully transfer the cooked squash and cooking liquid to a blender or use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure the mixture cools slightly before blending in a conventional blender to prevent steam buildup.
4
Return the pumpkin puree to the pot. Add the soaked short-grain rice, sugar, and salt.
Aproximativ 1 min.
5
Bring the mixture back to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and thickened.
Aproximativ 12 min.
Nota bucătarului: Stirring is crucial to prevent the porridge from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
6
In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet short-grain rice flour and the slurry water to create a smooth paste.
Aproximativ 1 min.
7
Pour the rice flour slurry into the simmering porridge, stirring constantly until the porridge thickens to your desired consistency.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Add the slurry gradually to control the thickness.
8
Remove from heat and serve warm, optionally garnished with pine nuts.
