Roasted Sweet Pumpkin (Danhobak)

20250205 #breakfastdiary 1304, -12/partly cloudy DeepSeek's shockwave, which wiped out 847 trillion won of Nvidia's market cap, has been at the center of controversy for the past few weeks. I read an article summing up its secret as optimization — meaning, combining and refining existing technology well. Source: Slow News @slowneeskr At the end of that article, the word "Kaizen" came up, a term I'd heard often long ago. Kaizen is the core of Toyota's production system in Japan, meaning continuous improvement. Roasted sweet pumpkin has shown up in my breakfasts quite a few times, and it's constantly being improved based on Kaizen. Today I boosted the nuttiness using ghee and toasted walnuts. #roastedsweetpumpkin, dipped in tomato sauce 👉Approx 176kcal

1 sweet pumpkin/kabocha (150g), 1t ghee, 1T walnuts, pepper, herbs, parmesan cheese, (tomato sauce) 1/4 onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 can whole tomatoes, salt, pepper, herbs (1t each)

1. Heat olive oil in a pot, sauté the minced garlic and onion, then add the can of whole tomatoes. Add salt, pepper, and herbs and simmer gently. (This is tomato sauce I made last weekend — obviously a store-bought sauce works too.) 2. Toast the walnuts in a pan. This bumps up the nuttiness by about a million times. 3. Melt butter in a heated pan, add pepper and herbs, and roast the pumpkin. 4. Pour the tomato sauce onto the plate, top with the roasted pumpkin, toasted walnuts, and parmesan cheese. #breakfast #recipe #miraclemorning #sweetpumpkin Q. With dressing it's 669kcal, without it's 300kcal. Give up the calories or give up the flavor? 😃
