Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, the rice wine vinegar, sugar or honey, sesame oil and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles and evaporates upon contact. Add the tofu, and stir-fry until lightly colored, about three minutes. Remove from the pan, and season to taste with soy sauce.
- Add the remaining oil to the pan. When it is hot, add the butternut squash. Stir-fry until it begins to color, five to eight minutes. Add salt to taste, the ginger and garlic. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, and add the cabbage. Stir-fry until the squash is tender and the cabbage is crisp-tender, about six minutes, adding about 1/4 cup water to the pan from time to time if the vegetables begin to stick. Return the tofu to the pan.
- Stir the sweet and sour mixture, and add to the vegetables. Stir just for a few seconds until they are glazed. Remove from the heat and serve with grains or noodles.

STIR-FRIED WINTER SQUASH AND TOFU WITH SOBA
Winter squash is a nutrient-dense vegetable, with lots of vitamin A in the form of beta carotene (the more orange the flesh, generally the more vitamin A in the squash), vitamin C, potassium and dietary fiber. Winter squash goes well with ginger, and this stir-fry makes a delicious vegetarian main course. Use a sweet, dense squash like butternut for this dish.

Steps:
- Wrap the tofu in clean kitchen towels or paper towels, and place under a cutting board for 10 minutes. Cut in 1-inch wide dominoes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok, and stir-fry the tofu until lightly colored, about three minutes. Using tongs or a slotted spatula, remove from the pan and set aside on a plate. Add the onion to the pan, and stir-fry until it softens, about three minutes. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and the squash. Cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and sesame seeds, and stir-fry for one minute, until fragrant. Return the tofu to the pan, stir in the sherry and 1/4 cup water, cover and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer five minutes or until the squash is tender. Uncover and add soy sauce to taste. Keep warm while you cook the soba.
- Bring 3 or 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add the noodles gradually, so that the water remains at a boil, and stir once with a long-handled spoon so that they don't stick together. Wait for the water to come back up to a rolling boil - it will bubble up so don't fill the pot all the way - and add 1 cup of cold water. Allow the water to come back to a rolling boil, and add another cup of cold water. Allow the water to come to a boil one more time, and add a third cup of water. When the water comes to a boil again, the noodles should be cooked through. Drain and toss with the sesame oil.
- Arrange the noodles on a platter, top with the tofu and vegetables, and serve.

Tips
- Choose the right squash: For this recipe, select a firm, ripe winter squash with a sweet flavor, such as butternut, kabocha, or acorn squash.
- Cut the squash into small, uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Roast the squash before stir-frying: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and makes it easier to cut into small pieces.
- Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to the squash, you can add other vegetables to the stir-fry, such as bell peppers, onions, carrots, or snow peas.
- Make sure the tofu is firm: Extra-firm or firm tofu will hold its shape better when stir-fried.
- Press the tofu before cooking: This helps to remove excess moisture and makes the tofu more flavorful.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: This will help to prevent the food from sticking.
- Stir-fry over high heat: This will help to cook the food quickly and evenly.
- Add the sauce at the end: This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fried dishes are best served hot.
