Remove the seeds from 200 grams of kabocha squash and peel the squash. Chop the kabocha squash into small pieces. Microwave until the potatoes are cooked, then mash with a fork. Allow to cool. *I omitted the kabocha squash peel to maintain the lovely color.

Notes

For the dough, the optimum milk (water) temperature is about 30°C in the spring and fall. Summer temperatures are about 10°C, while winter temperatures are around 40°C. When allowing the dough to rise or rest, be cautious not to let it to dry out. When the dough becomes too wet and sticky, dust it with a little flour.
