Steps to make Halloween Wagashi - Kabocha Squash Mochi:
  1. Prep the kabocha squash by peeling, microwaving until tender, then mash. Divide the koshi-an into 5 portions.
  2. Put the A. ingredients in a heatproof bowl, and mix together well with a whisk. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave (about 1 minute 40 seconds at 700 W).
  3. Knead with a spatula until the dough is smooth.
  4. Lay the dough on a work space dusted with katakuriko and cut into fifths (the dough is quite sticky and difficult to work with, so dust your workspace with a lot of katakuriko).
  5. Flatten each portion into a circle, and wrap around the balls of koshi-an.
  6. Press the back of a knife onto the surface to make the kabocha squash pattern.
  7. When the dumplings are formed, brush off any excess katakuriko on the surface with a brush. This improves their appearance.
  8. Decorate the tops with a pumpkin seed or similar to finish. I didn't have any pumpkin seeds, so I used pine nuts.
  9. Soft and tender yellow gyuuhi wrapped around not-too-sweet, homemade koshi-an. You can see the yellow color of the kabocha squash inside too, and it looks pretty.
  10. I put some kabocha squash paste into the koshi-an too. It looks beautiful and tastes great too. Give it a try!

It's a children's song that just popped into my head as I was thinking about kabocha. It's round and bright orange on the inside. Fukusa mochi (ふくさ餅), as it is called, is a treat for the tastebuds due to its various textures — upon biting into it, one first enjoys the softness of the pancake-like skin, before that gives way to the smoothness of the red bean paste, and finally the chewiness of the mochi hidden within. The Korean danhobak is a kind of winter squash, known by its Japanese name kabocha in English. In Korean, dan means "sweet," and hobak means "pumpkin," and bap means "rice," so you could translate this dish as "sweet pumpkin rice." A danhobak is very sweet and fluffy when cooked, so I often steam it and eat it by itself.
