    **Broccoli**: chop into florets and steam for 5 minutes, then season however you like (I just topped mine with hot sauce)

    **Acorn squash**: slice in half, scoop out seeds, spray with oil, and sprinkle a little salt. Then cook in an oven at 400 for about 30 minutes or until soft when pierced with a fork. I grew this squash myself! And sprinkled it with some garlic and herb seasoning after it was done cooking.

    **Tofu**: press a block of extra-firm tofu in between two layers of paper towel or a clean dish towel for about 30 minutes. Then, chop into cubes and toss in flour or corn starch. Fry in a small layer of oil on the stove (cast iron skillet works best) until crispy on at least two sides. Then, toss in a stir fry sauce as the last step until the sauce gets a nice sticky texture. Once you add the sauce, it should only stay on the heat for a minute.

    **Stir fry sauce**: (I eyeballed the measurements so these are approximate) 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sambal olek, 1 tbsp water, 1 tbsp mirin, 2 tsp honey, and a couple shakes of sesame oil

    This looks like my kinda dinner! I just can’t be bothered to press tofu. I just squeeze it a little over the sink with my hands. 

    I have have never had sambal olek. What’s it like? I’m not sure where I would find it…
