I love kabocha squash boiled in miso, and I had some kidney beans - so I thought of this recipe. It's easy to make but has a taste stronger than usual simmered dishes, so it's best suited for bentos. Try varying the basic recipe.

Adjust the cooking time depending on your home microwave. Mixing it twice while you cook in the microwave will help keep the flavor from becoming inconsistent. Tastes delicious even if it falls apart. For 3 small cupcake liners. Recipe by Tamochan
