    tips & techniques
    Prepare & roast the vegetables
    1 Prepare & roast the vegetables

    Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Line a sheet pan with foil. Halve and peel the onion; cut into 1-inch-wide wedges, keeping the layers intact. Transfer the onion wedges and squash to the sheet pan; drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 24 to 26 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

    Meanwhile, halve the cucumber lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise; place in a bowl. Add half the vinegar and season with salt and pepper; stir to coat. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. In a separate bowl, whisk  together the miso paste, coconut aminos, sesame oil, and remaining vinegar.

    Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in a bowl and season with salt, pepper, and all but a pinch of the togarashi. Toss to coat. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Turn off the heat. Serve the cooked rice topped with the cooked chicken, roasted vegetables, and marinated cucumber (including any liquid). Drizzle with the dressing. Garnish with the remaining togarashi. Enjoy!
