Instructions

Peel and core the squash and cut it into 1½-inch wedges. Cut each wedges into ½- by 1½-inch pieces.
Put a medium pan over medium heat, then add the sesame oil and sliced garlic. Add the fermented black bean chili sauce. Stir for 1 minute. Add the squash and stir to coat in the fragrant oil, then pour in the stock and bring to a boil. Add the maple syrup, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and cranberries. Close the lid and let simmer on low heat until the squash is fork-tender.
Uncover the pan and adjust the seasoning to taste. Serve with mashed potato and top with sprouts and fresh herbs of choice.
