Ryuji-style 'Ultimate Pumpkin Stew'. A rich dish that even those who dislike pumpkin can enjoy, perfect with rice. No roux is used; chicken thighs, microwave-heated pumpkin, onion, and oyster mushrooms are simmered in milk and chicken broth, then thickened with a beurre manié. Nutmeg and pepper add flavor, creating an easy-to-make stew that pairs perfectly with rice.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (3-4 servings)

  • Pumpkin 450g
  • Chicken thigh 1 piece (300g)
  • Onion 1 (250g)
  • Oyster mushrooms 1 pack
  • Milk 300cc
  • Mixed cheese 35g
  • All-purpose flour 2 tbsp

Seasonings

  • Water 300cc
  • Chicken broth 2.5 tsp
  • [A] Butter 20g
  • Salt 1/3 tsp
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil 2 tsp
  • Nutmeg 3 dashes
  • Pepper 3 dashes
  • Dried parsley to taste

Steps

  1. Wrap pumpkin 450g and heat in a 600W microwave for 4 minutes.
  2. Remove the seeds and pulp from the heated pumpkin.
  3. Cut 1 onion (250g) into rough chunks.
  4. Cut 1 chicken thigh (300g) into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Heat 2 tsp oil in a frying pan, place the chicken thigh skin-side down, and sauté while seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Cut the microwave-heated and softened pumpkin into rough chunks.
  7. Add the roughly chopped onion to the frying pan with the sautéed chicken and cook until translucent.
  8. Add the roughly chopped pumpkin and 1 pack of oyster mushrooms to the sautéed chicken and onion, and mix everything together.
  9. Add water 300cc and chicken broth 2.5 tsp, then bring to a boil.
  10. Cover and simmer for 8 minutes.
  11. Remove the lid, increase heat to high, and reduce until the liquid thickens (approx. 2 minutes).
  12. Add milk 300cc and salt 1/3 tsp, and simmer.
  13. Heat butter 20g in the microwave for 20 seconds to soften.
  14. Add all-purpose flour 2 tbsp to the heated butter and mix well to create a beurre manié. [Pro Tip!] Adding flour directly can cause lumps, so mixing it with butter to make a beurre manié creates a smooth thickening agent.
  15. Reduce the stew heat to low, add the beurre manié, and mix while dissolving to thicken.
  16. Return heat to medium and simmer until the stew is uniformly thickened.
  17. Add mixed cheese 35g, nutmeg 3 dashes, and pepper 3 dashes, then mix. [Pro Tip!] Too much nutmeg can make the aroma too strong, so use a small amount for flavoring. Pepper adds a piquant accent to the mellow taste of the stew.
  18. If the stew has reduced and become too thick, add extra milk (not listed in ingredients) to adjust to your preferred consistency.
  19. Serve in a dish, sprinkle with dried parsley to taste, and it's complete.
