Ingredients
1 cup aduki beans, soaked, rinsed and drained
1 (3-inch) piece of kombu sea vegetable
2-inch slice fresh ginger
3½ cups water
2 cups peeled butternut squash, cut in ¾ to 1-inch dice
2 tablespoons fresh ginger juice

2. Place squash on top of beans, cover and cook for 20 minutes or until squash is soft and beans are tender.
3. Add ginger juice, shoyu and sea salt and gently toss with squash and aduki beans. Garnish each serving with scallions.
