Kabocha Gnocchi
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
gnocchi
- 1 kabocha
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
Sauce
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2-3 salmon fillets (You'll also need a little bit of flour to coat the salmon)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (You can use any types of mushroom. I used brown baby mushrooms and maitake mushrooms)
- 1/2 onion
- 200 cc heavy cream
- salt & pepper
- 2 tsp soy sauce (You can adjust the amount of soy sauce as you wish)
- 3 stalks scallions
Instructions
- Cut a kabocha in half and take out the seeds.
- Cut it into small pieces and put them in a microwave-safe bowl. Splash a little but of water on top and microwave them for about 4 minutes until cooked. Peel the skin.
- Mash the kabocha and combine it with flour and an egg in a large bowl. (You can add a little bit of milk if it's too mushy.)
- Knead until dough forms a ball.
- On a floured surface, roll and shape small portion of dough into a snake-shaped log. Repeat with the rest of dough.
- Cut snakes into small half-inch pieces.
- To shape the gnocchi, hold a fork in one hand, and with your thumb, press in and down the gnocchi pieces onto the fork.
- In a large pot, add water and bring it to boil. Add some olive oil and salt.
- Once boiled, drop in gnocchi and cook for about 3-4 minutes until gnocchi are risen to the top. Drain and set aside.
- Once you're done shaping the gnocchi, cut the salmon fillets into small pieces and put them in a medium bowl.
- Sprinkle some flour and make sure they are lightly coated.
- Heat a large pan and add olive oil. Cook salmon until all sides are cooked. Set aside on a plate.
- Chop garlic and slice 1/2 onion and mushrooms. Set aside.
- Add a tbsp of olive oil onto the same pan, add chopped garlic and cook until you get the aroma.
- Add sliced onions and cook until they are slightly brown. Add mushrooms and cook.
- Add heavy cream into the pan and bring to boil.
- Put the salmon back into the pan, add some soy sauce and salt & pepper, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, add gnocchi and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle chopped scallions for garnish.
