2 cups orange juice
3/4 cup hoisin sauce*

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I thought the orange glaze was a bit too sweet. I would probably use less sugar next time.

The squash was a bit too soft for my liking. I think I would roast it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more spices or herbs.
