Gingery Steamed Kabocha (or delicata) Squash

By devogirl

To avoid scorching the bottom of the pot, check frequently toward the end of cooking time to see if you need to add more water.

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 2 pounds kabocha or delicata squash, seeded and cut into a 1 1/2-inch chunks
• 2 Tbsp minced fresh ginger

Preparation

Step 1

In a large heavy saucepan, begin bringing the water to a boil. As the water heats, layer the squash in the pan skin side down, sprinkling with ginger as you go. Once the water has come to a boil, cover and cook over medium-high heat until squash can easily be pierced with a fork, 10-15 mins.
