Fall hasn’t started yet and luckily the Fall weather isn’t there yet either. But that doesn’t mean I’m not in a Fall recipe mood already, so let’s talk about butternut squash fried rice. The recipe that starts off the pumpkin, apple and pear recipes coming the next weeks.
The butternut squash rice recipe is what I thought of to prepare when I had a bit of ginger syrup, soy sauce and butternut squash leftover. As a family we love fried rice, so that settled that. I wanted some more vegetables in the dish, and bok choy sounded like the perfect combination. We always love the combination of fried rice and satay sauce. I wanted to keep the dish vegetarian, so instead of chicken meatballs, I added vegetarian vegetable balls. We loved it.
