Simmered Butternut Squash And Green Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups konbu dashi
2 teaspoons tamari
1 teaspoon sake
2 teaspoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh gingerroot (I like more)
3/4 lb butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
1/4 teaspoon salt (I dont use, the tamari does it for me)
1/3 lb fresh green beans
2 teaspoons water
1 teaspoon cornstarch, dissolved in the water

Preparation

In a saucepan bring 1 cup of the dashi, 1 T.
of the tamari, the sake, 1 t.
of the homey and the ginger to a simmer.
Add squash and simmer for 8 minute.
Remove with a slotted spoon.
Add remaining dashi, the salt, and 1/2 t.
oc honey to the broth and return to a simmer.
Add the beans and simmer, covered until barely tender.
Remove beans.
To the broth add the remaining tamari and the honey, but I would taste before adding the honey as this could get quite sweet.
Stir in the cornstarch/water and thicken.
Return squash and beans and gently stir.
