Steam Buttercup Squash with rice("Dan-hobak yongyang bab")/단호박영양밥/笋瓜盅饭








                       We call it "수삼( Su-sam)" in Korean,small in shape.


Buttercup Squash. we call it 단호박 ( Dan-hobak) in Korean. with a flattish top and dark green skin, normally heavy with dense, yellow-orange fresh.

Buttercup Squash can be roasted, baked and mashed into soups. I do like to use it to make pumpkin puree and salad. Today, I am going to share with you the Korean style  ' Steam Buttercup Squash with rice("Dan-hobak yongyang bab"

笋瓜学名Cucurbita maxima)为葫芦科南瓜属的植物。韩文称为“단호박 (Dan-hobak)

一年生草本。圆筒形茎蔓生,组织较松。叶片形状近似南瓜,而尖端圆钝,无白斑。黄色花冠先端钝圆,裂片小,萼片细长。圆筒形的果实,有淡黄、橘红等色。果面平滑,黄褐或淡黄色的果肉,含糖少。果柄圆而无棱,基部不膨大.

笋瓜可以用来烘焙,烤或剁烂煮成羹。我就喜欢用它来煮成南瓜羹或做沙拉。今天则是与大家分享韩式笋瓜盅饭,非常有营养。。。
