After the incident with the heater and Shinta, I helped my mom make some kabocha and cheese gyoza. It was not bad, but I think it needed more cheese. The second batch we made had some ground pork and beef in it. I think that needed more cheese, too. My dad didn’t like it. He said gyoza should not be sweet.
Also, the kabocha was cooked in our rice cooker! Imagine that! My mom learned from Aru Aru Daijiten that you can have an easy to slice kabocha by putting the raw kabocha and 50cc of water into the rice cooker to cook. When the rice cooker is done, you’ll have one easy to slice kabocha! Nifty! :)
