#Bento - Honey simmered Kabocha: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/4 cup water, 2Tb of honey and a dash of salt, add the kabocha and stir to coat. Cover and microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes until soft, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Either wooden or metal skewers work for the kabobs. If you choose wooden skewers, soak them for at least 30 minutes in water so they won't burn. Slide the chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients to get a varied mix on each skewer. Leave small gaps between the pieces so they can cook faster.
