Directions:

  1. Halve squash and remove seeds and strings. Put squash halves cut upside down in microwave-safe baking dish, add 2 T water and cover with wax paper.
  2. Microwave on high power about 15 minutes or until tender; check by piercing squash in its thickest part with a fork. Remove squash pulp from peel. Roughly dice pulp.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet or saute pan. Add onion and saute over medium heat, stirring often, for 7 minutes. Add minced ginger and saute over low heat for 30 seconds. Add squash pieces, 1/4 cup broth, ground ginger, sugar, salt and pepper.
  4. Cover and cook, stirring often, about 5 minutes, adding more broth by tablespoons if needed, or until squash is coated with flavoring and is heated through. Don't worry if squash pieces fall apart. Serve hot.
