Sweet meets spicy when both hoisin and siracha sauce are drizzled over these colorful bowls brimming with hot cooked quinoa and a mixture of savory vegetables. Red quinoa has a nuttier flavor and chewier texture than white quinoa but you can use it instead of the red variety if that’s what you have on hand. Kabocha squash is a type of winter squash and unlike its cousins, butternut squash and pumpkin, its skin is edible and quite delicious when roasted. An excellent accompaniment to roasted pork, chicken or meat, this dish is also substantial enough to serve as a light meatless main course.

Ingredients

Uncooked kabocha squash

½ average, with skin on

Avocado
