August is when the gardens are overflowing. Some vegetables on our table this time of year are salted edamame, eggplant simmered in a sweet miso sauce, bitter melon stir-fry (like goya champuru), or green beans with a sesame dressing. Pickles are a quick dish for the hot summer quickly made from cucumbers, young ginger or cabbage. Many of these vegetables can be quickly stir-fried like the peppers, bok choy, or zucchini. And two of my favorites are spaghetti squash with a Bolognese sauce or buttered corn.
