Cooking steps
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Place the butternut squash cubes in a baking dish and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
3. Roast the butternut squash in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
4. While the butternut squash is roasting, prepare the fish fillets. Season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
5. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
6. In the same skillet, add the sliced button mushrooms and grated ginger. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and golden.
7. Cook rice according to package instructions. Usually, the ratio is 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil, add rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.
8. Once the butternut squash is roasted and the mushrooms are cooked, divide the roasted butternut squash cubes and mushrooms onto two serving plates.
9. Place the cooked fish fillets on top of the veggies and serve with the cooked rice as a side dish.

Cooking a new dish
Starting to cook a new dish begins with selecting a recipe that matches your skill level and gathering all the necessary ingredients. Before diving in, read through the entire recipe to understand the steps and timing involved. Next, prepare your workspace by cleaning the countertops, organizing your tools, and setting out ingredients. Prepping the ingredients—such as washing, chopping, and measuring—is key to ensuring a smooth cooking process. As you cook, follow the recipe step by step, taking your time and tasting along the way to adjust flavors. Finally, serve the dish with care and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Preparing your workspace correctly
Preparing your workspace involves starting with clean countertops, organizing your tools and equipment, and setting out all the necessary ingredients within reach. Arrange your tools, like knives, cutting boards, and measuring cups, close by for easy access, and pre-measure ingredients if possible to save time during cooking. It's helpful to have a trash bowl for food scraps to keep the area tidy. Ensure your workspace is well-lit and free of unnecessary items to maximize space. If your recipe requires it, preheat the oven or pans while organizing your space. Having a clean and organized workspace makes the cooking process more efficient and enjoyable.
Preparing your ingredients in advance
Prepping ingredients, or "mise en place," involves getting everything ready before cooking. This includes washing and chopping vegetables, measuring out ingredients, and preparing items like garlic, onions, or meat as required by the recipe. You might also marinate, soften, or melt ingredients if needed. Once prepped, arrange everything in small bowls or containers for easy access during cooking. This preparation helps streamline the cooking process and ensures you can focus on cooking without interruptions.
