Pasta mit Kürbissauce und Ahornsirup-Räuchertofu | Pasta in Pumpkin (Squash) Sauce with Maple Syrup Smoked Tofu

English version below

Wir hatten noch ein paar Hokkaidokürbisse aus dem Garten meiner Schwiegermutter und ich habe überlegt, was man noch so Schönes damit zaubern kann. Als Pastasauce hat das super funktioniert!

Simple: Brussels Sprouts FTW

Die deutsche Übersetzung findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!

I always eat Brussels sprouts when Mr. Squirrel isn't home because he hates them. But I don't. :)
A super tasty way to make them is to boil them first and to then fry them.

Fried Rice with Veggies and Sesame

Very easy and a great way to use up any veggies that need to go and, of course, if you have leftover rice! I used leftover white rice and some purple rice, but any type will do. 

Ingredients for 5 servings:

• 300g of rice (300g before cooking)
• 4 medium carrots
• 300g of smoked tofu
• 4 small onions
• 1 medium zucchini
• 50g of sesame seeds
• soy sauce
• salt
• 1 tablespoon of powdered curry
• some vegetable oil
• some roasted sesame oil (the dark yummy oil, not the light tasteless stuff)
