Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
Brush both halves with the butter and sprinkle with the brown sugar.
Place them, cut sides down, on a baking sheet and roast until fork-tender, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a skillet, combine the broth, syrup, cider, soy sauce, lemon juice, and garlic.
Boil for 5 minutes, then whisk in the cornstarch and cook, whisking constantly, until the glaze thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
Slice the tofu into 1/2-inch-thick slabs.
Then use a knife or a cookie cutter to create cubes or playful shapes.
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add the tofu and sear until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes a side.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Scoop the squash strands out and into bowls.
Top with the tofu, drizzle on the glaze, and serve.
