While the kabocha is still hot, put them in the food processor along with the sugar and the egg, and process until smooth.

My food processor is small, so I mix well using a spoon.

Use the pot and strainer that you used in Step 1 to strain the mixture.

If you transfer the mixture to a measuring cup, it will not spill when you are pouring it into the serving cups.

Once the steamer has started to boil, transfer the filled serving cups into it and steam for 7 minutes on high heat, with a cloth wrapped around the lid (keep it slightly ajar).

Take them out of the steamer.

Once they have cooled, top with some maple syrup and chill in the refrigerator, and you are done!
