I spent a couple years hanging out with a group of chamorros every weekend and having barbecues. My favorite foods for grilling are all learned from those weekends. I was looking through the Guam/Chamorro recipes and did not see red rice, so I figured it is my civic duty to post it, since it is such a staple of the cuisine. -- posted by SZuercher

Steamed Kabocha for Low-Sugar Diets

Sun, 06 Sep 2009 20:05:24 -0400

Guam's selection of locally-grown vegetables is limited and many of them are unfamiliar to stateside Americans. One example is the kabocha, also known as Japanese pumpkin or kabocha squash. The Filipinos use it in stews and the Japanese use it in tempura but I experimented to make it a healthy side dish (kabocha is full of beta carotene and also has iron and potassium...good stuff). -- posted by Cooking_on_Guam

This is a delicious way to prepare taro leaves and if you dont have taro leaves then you can subsitute it with frozen or fresh chopped spinach leaves. This recipe is derived from Guam. -- posted by LadyFromGuam
