Recipe byThe ZestyPlate Kitchen
Butternut squash and green beans simmered in a fragrant ginger, garlic and soy broth with spring onions and coriander.
Butternut squash and green beans simmered in a gingery, savoury-sweet broth, all in one pan and on the table in about half an hour. It is light and fresh, finished with spring onion and coriander over jasmine rice. An easy meat-free dinner that doesn't feel like a compromise.

Preparation
- Heat the oil in a medium lidded saucepan. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry for about 5 minutes. Add the squash, soy sauce, sugar and stock, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Take off the lid, add the green beans and cook for another 3 minutes until the squash and beans are tender. Stir the spring onions through at the last minute, scatter over the coriander and serve with rice.
Tips from the ZestyPlate Kitchen
- Soften the ginger and garlic first; that gentle frying builds the fragrant base.
- Chop the squash into even pieces so it cooks through at the same pace.
- Hold the green beans back until near the end to keep them tender with a bit of bite.
- Fold in the spring onions right at the finish for a fresh lift.
Frequently Asked Questions
Tofu, edamame or chickpeas all sit well here; just add them to warm through in the broth.
Plenty do. Sweet potato, pumpkin, broccoli or pak choi all suit the gingery broth, so adjust the timings to match what you use.
Yes, provided your soy sauce is vegan, which most are. Otherwise it is naturally plant-based and light.
