Ingredients

    Olive Oil, 1 tbsp.
    Shallots, 56 grams
    Garlic, 2 clove
    Ginger Root, 56 grams
    Black Bean Garlic Sauce, 1 tbsp
    Butternut Squash, 4 cup, cubed
    Sweet Cooking Rice Wine, 2 tbsp
    Lite Soy Sauce, 2 tbsp
    Granulated Sugar, .5 tsp
    Vegetable Stock 1 cup
    Bok Choy, raw-shreaded 2 cups
    Tofu, organic 3 oz
    Sesame Oil, 1 tbsp

Directions

1. Slice and braise tofu.

2. In a deep skillet or wok with a lid, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat and add the shallots. Cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute or so, then add the black bean sauce. Stir to keep from sticking.

3. Add the squash and stir to coat with the aromatics, 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the rice wine, soy sauce, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add to the squash and bring to a lively simmer. Add enough liquid so that the vegetables are barely covered. Cover and cook until the squash is just about fork tender, 15 minutes.

4. Remove the lid and place the bok choy and braised tofu on top of the squash mixture. Drizzle the bok choy with the sesame oil. Return the lid and allow to steam until the bok choy arrives at your desired doneness, at least 3 minutes.
