Squash Stir Fry

Asian squash, commonly known as kabocha or Japanese pumpkin, boasts a sweet, nutty flavor akin to a combination of pumpkin and sweet potato. This round, green squash is characterized by its squat shape and has deep orange flesh inside, which becomes tender and rich when cooked. Ideal for both savory and sweet dishes, Asian squash can be roasted, steamed, or puréed to make soups, pies, or side dishes. Its dense texture holds up well during cooking, making it a versatile choice for adding depth and heartiness to autumnal and winter recipes.
