Method
 

How to make Spiced Moroccan Tomato Sauce
  1. Sauté the olive oil, diced red onions, and sliced garlic, season with kosher salt. Cook together for 3 minutes, over medium-low heat. The onions should be tender.
  2. Reduce heat to low, add the cardamom, cinnamon, cumin, and curry powder. Cook for 1 minute, just enough to release the oils in the spices.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes, and stir to combine. Cook over low heat for 30 minutes.
  4. Add the golden raisin, adjust the thickness of the sauce with the water. Cover and keep warm until time to serve.
How to Make Baked Everything Seasoned Tofu
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the tofu into 8 portions shaped like a triangle.
  3. Place the everything seasoning onto a plate.
  4. Brush the tofu with the sesame oil, then firmly press the tofu into the everything seasoning. Brush the other side with sesame oil, then press that side into the everything seasoning so that both sides are coated.
  5. Place on the oiled parchment paper. Cook for 15 minutes, flip the tofu and continue to cook for 15 minutes more. The tofu should be crispy on the edges, and light golden brown.
How to make Maple Ginger Vinaigrette.
  1. Heat the olive oil and sesame oil over medium heat. Add the shaved shallots and ginger. Season with the kosher salt, stir, cooking for 3 minutes. The shallots and ginger should be tender without any color. Add the red chili flakes
  2. Finish with 3 Tbsp maple syrup, and black vinegar. Stir to combine, remove from the heat and set aside.
How to make Blistered Long Beans.
  1. Heat a heavy cast-iron pan over high heat. Add the long bean to the pan.
  2. Drizzle the olive oil over the beans, and season with kosher salt. Allow the long beans to blister before you turn them over. Continue to cook until well blistered on each side.
  3. Turn the heat off, add the maple ginger vinaigrette, and stir to combine.
