Pared and cut as follows, the sweet dumpling provides a charming dish for every day—or special occasions. The bright yellow flesh, dressed in green stripes, softens to just the right moist, rich consistency when steamed. The simple and attractive presentation looks Oriental.

Ingredients

  • 1 sweet dumpling squash, about 1 pound
  • tablespoons butter
  • About

Method

  1. Cut squash in half lengthwise, slicing slightly off center to avoid tough “poles.” With vegetable peeler remove most of skin, leaving the indented green stripes. Halve each piece again, to make lengthwise quarters.
  2. Set pieces on steamer rack over boiling water, skin side up. Cover and steam until tender, about 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, melt butter, stir
