Help me make butternut squash edible to me

[rachelmanija]

I have two butternut squashes (hard-skinned yellow squash), delivered to me as an emergency substitution for something I actually like. I can't return them because coronavirus, I don't generally like squash, and my neighbors don't want them.

My exception to the squash hate is when it's a savory dish that tones down the sweetness. The only time I've ever liked pumpkin was a savory dish I had at a banquet in Taipei with, I think, dried shrimp. Please suggest to me a savory dish, ideally some kind of Asian, which I can make with this squash.


I do not have dried shrimp, but I do have fish sauce and furikake. I don't have pureeing equipment.

I can say that butternut squash makes a REALLY tasty soup and there's quite a few recipes for it online. Some might say you need to puree it, but really all you need to do is dice it up into smallish chunks (about 1" square or so) and cook it down until it's a mooshy mess and then just use a fork.
