Tips: Both roasted squash and ginger tomato can be prepared in advance and keep in fridge. Ginger tomato can also be used in other green salad and fish dishes.
If you don’t want to wait for 3 hours, you can mix the tomato with the ginger-sugar paste and put in oven for the last 15 minutes with the pumpkin. Not as deep flavor as the original recipe, still good enough for a delicious salad 😊
