#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.
Set the broiler to Hi. Place the kabobs on a broiler pan and put it on a rack adjusted so the kabobs are about 4-6 inches below the broiler. Cook for about two minutes until the beef is browned, then turn everything over and cook the other side until browned.
