mapo tofu can be made vegetarian and tastes fantastic that way, and it can be eaten at room temperature.
Chinese stir-fries and Japanese cooking are also good at room temperature. Washoku, by Elizabeth Andoh, is a Japanese cookbook with lots of amazingly delicious recipes, and most of them can be made the night before, refrigerated, and served at room temperature the next day: tonkatsu, ginger-braised eggplant, curry rice, and hijiki salad. If you make rice, it shouldn't be refrigerated, as it become dry and mealy. It can stand at room temperature for at least a day, and possibly more, depending on how humid and hot your environment is.
