Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 yellow squash, cut into bite-size cubes

1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, cut into bite-size cubes
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce

Directions

1 Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook and stir garlic in hot oil until just fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add squash and zucchini, cook and stir until vegetables soften, about 7 minutes. Transfer squash mixture to a bowl.
