Wendell made this ono pumpkin dish last month. He found the recipe in the Star-Advertiser's 12/26/2018 Crave section. You can find it online here. The dish was created by Karen Fuke of Hilo and calls for a can of tsukemono called Fukujinzuke!
Here's the can of tsukemono.
FUKE ZUKE KABOCHA
By Karen Fuke
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 (5.29-ounce) can Fukujinzuke pickled vegetables, also called Tokyo zuke, sold in the Asian aisle of supermarkets
- 1 whole kabocha pumpkin
Mix pork with Tokyo zuke and its liquid. Set aside.
Microwave whole kabocha about 4 minutes so it is easier to cut. Cut a round lid in the kabocha; discard seeds and strings, being careful not to break the bottom. Stuff with pork mixture.
Replace kabocha lid. Put any extra stuffing in a heat-proof bowl.
Steam kabocha 30 to 40 minutes, until pork is cooked. If you have a multilevel steamer, steam the extra pork mixture at the same time.
Slice kabocha and serve. Serves 4 to 6. Serve hot or at room temperature.

can of tsukemono? I never knew there was such a thing!
I make very something very similar from a friend's recipe called stuffed kabocha
and use hamburger instead of pork and also dice up carrots and water chestnuts.
Instead of trying to stuff the hollowed out pumpkin, I cut it in half so can put the hamburger mixture in each half. Put each half in microwavable dish, preferably with cover or wrap well with plastic wrap and microwave about 8 minutes on until cooked.
The best part of this recipe is everything is microwaved so it's pretty quick.
Ooooh, I have a pot lunch lunch tomorrow...maybe I'll make this!

Wow, what an interesting dish! Cooking the filling in the pumpkin and steaming the whole thing! Would have been nice to see a picture! 😉
Me too, Izsmom!
Les, the can looks familiar to me. I think it's been around for awhile.
V, microwave! How cool! I just learned a microwave tip from Dining with the Chef . . . before frying tofu, heat it in the microwave for 2 minutes to remove excess water instead of wrapping with paper towel and putting a heavy weight on it for 1/2 hour.
Susan, is that what he did??!! 😳 I didn't watch. I only ate. LOL.
That microwave trick for tofu is good for making shira ae too and spicy pan fried Korean tofu!

ooh different but sounds yummy!
