Steps:
- Gather all the ingredients.
- In a small saucepan, boil the measured water for the dashi. Once boiling, add the katsuobushi.
- Mix together and turn off the heat. Set aside for 15 minutes. Then, strain the katsuobushi with a fine-mesh sieve. Now you have Katsuo Dashi. Set it aside for now. Reserve the spent katsuobushi to make furikake (rice seasonings).
- Remove the seeds and membrane from the kabocha and microwave it for 2 minutes to soften the outer skin. You can skip microwaving if you have a sharp knife and the strength to cut through the hard kabocha.
- Carefully cut the kabocha into wedges, then equal 2-inch (5 cm) pieces. Remember, we leave the skin on because kabocha skin is edible and nutritious.
- In a large pot, place the kabocha pieces in a single layer, skin side down.
- Add the dashi, sake, and sugar. Tip: Swirl the pot to mix the seasonings so you don't break the kabocha pieces.
- Cook on medium high heat and bring it to a boil.
- Add the soy sauce and salt, and swirl the pot again to mix the seasonings. The cooking liquid should come three-quarters up the sides of the kabocha pieces; if it does not, you can add a little bit of water. Bring it to a boil again.
- Once boiling, turn the heat to medium low to maintain a simmer. Cover with an otoshibuta (drop lid) and cook for 20-30 minutes (depending on the size of your kabocha pieces and how long it takes the skin to cook). You can tell it's done when the orange flesh of the kabocha has tiny, thin cracks near the skin or a bamboo skewer pierces the kabocha easily. If you feel that the liquid is evaporating too fast, you can cover the pot with a pot lid (with the otoshibuta still placed on top of the kabocha).
- Remove from the heat and let the kabocha sit covered with a pot lid until cool, about 30 minutes. This helps the kabocha absorb more flavor as it cools. You can serve it at room temperature or reheat before serving.

SIMMERED KABOCHA PUMPKIN AND FRIED TOFU WITH SWEET SOY SAUCE
This is a kind of traditional Japanese nimono. It's really good for lunchboxes too. You can get Japanese kabocha pumpkin at a Japanese market, Chinese market, or another Asian market. The dish is even better the next day as leftovers (served hot or cold).

- Cut 1 cup worth of 1" x 1" kabocha cubes, should be around 1/4 of the whole kabocha. See pictures below on how we de-seed and cut the kabocha. Note - if you're having a difficult time cutting into the kabocha, throw the whole kabocha in the microwave for about 20-25 seconds.
- Once boiling, lower heat to medium-low and add kabocha cubes along with Soy Sauce. If needed, add more water until kabocha is submerged in the water. Cover stove top pot 7/8 of the way to expose a little room for evaporation. Cook for 15-20 minutes until kabocha is easily forked and then transfer to a serving plate. Best enjoyed as a warm dish but can be enjoyed cold as well!

- Bring to a boil then lower the heat to simmer. Cook the kabocha until a skewer goes through smoothly, about 4-5 minutes.
- Cover with a lid and set aside to allow the flavor to slowly be absorbed. Let the kabocha squash cook slowly with the residual heat while it absorbs flavor from the shio koji. If you overcook the kabocha squash, it will get mushy and lose its shape and appeal. You can serve this dish cold, at room temperature, or warm.
