Hints and tips

  • Yuzu koshõ can be purchased from Asian grocers.
  • If fresh shiitake mushrooms are not available, use rehydrated dried shiitake. Do not discard mushroom liquid. This can be saved and used in stocks or soups for extra flavour.
  • Using the sous-vide function to cook the pumpkin intensifies its flavours and retains the beautiful colour.
  • Butternut pumpkin can be substituted with other varieties, such as Japanese or Kent.
