Steamed Japanese Squash with Red Dates
1.
Prepare the materials, see it, the Japanese gourd is this dark green color. A normal Japanese gourd can grow to about 3 kg. This Japanese gourd is small and belongs to the autumn gourd. When the temperature drops, it will not grow. Although it is mature, it is relatively tall. Small and suitable for whole steaming.
2.
Peel and wash the Japanese squash. The old skin in autumn is a bit hard. In order to taste and look good, I removed this old skin. It is not necessary to peel it. Just remove the outer film when eating.
3.
Choose the location and use this kind of fruit knife on the side to cut out the shape, and the upper part is a little smaller to make the lid.
4.
Open the lid, remove the melon flesh, and scrape it clean with a spoon.
5.
It's best to soak the red dates overnight. The time I soak is short, and the red dates are not fully soaked. Wash the red dates.
6.
Remove the red dates, control the moisture, and put them in the pumpkin.
7.
Steam on the tray for about half an hour. Pay attention to observation. In the later stage, you can use a toothpick to tie a bundle, and turn off the heat when it is ripe.
8.
After the steamed squash, turn off the heat and take it out of the pot, pour the water inside into a bowl to cool slightly.
9.
Take a small bowl, add a tablespoon of honey, an appropriate amount of sweet-scented osmanthus sauce, and a little steamed Japanese melon water to make a syrup.
