#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.
Cook the kabobs in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, turning every five to 10 minutes. Brush extra -- fresh -- marinade on the kabobs during the last five minutes of cooking. Although your vegetables will almost certainly cook thoroughly in the 20- to 30-minute time frame, youâll want to keep a close eye on your meats.
