Autumn Ratatouille

Almost every weekend, I make ratatouille to clean up all vegetables in my refrigerator, and the vegetables I use change by season. In autumn, my ratatouille becomes yellow because of the color of squash and pumpkin. I love the color so much. It's a Japanese sytle to add a little bit soy sauce to finish.
