    �With its flavorful ginger sauce and fresh vegetables, this tasty dish is a favorite,� says Phyllis Smith of Chimacum, Washington. �I get rave reviews every time I serve it, and it doesn�t bother my husband�s food allergies.�

    Ingredients:
    � 1 tablespoon cornstarch
    � 1/2 teaspoon sugar
    � 1-1/4 cups vegetable broth
    � 4 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

    � 3 teaspoons canola oil, divided
    � 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
    � 1 medium yellow summer squash, halved and sliced
    � 2 green onions, thinly sliced
    � 1 package (14 ounces) extra-firm tofu, drained and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
    � 1/4 teaspoon salt
    � 1/4 teaspoon pepper
    � 2 cups hot cooked brown rice
