Spaghetti Squash Chow Mein
Spaghetti squash can make a great alternative to noodles.
Ingredients
- 1 large spaghetti squash
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper (or black pepper)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 stalks celery, sliced diagonally
- 2 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
Directions
Cut a spaghetti squash lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Lay skin side up in a 9- by 13-inch glass baking dish, with ½ inch of water in the bottom of the pan. Bake at 400 F for 30 to 40 minutes, until flesh is very tender. Scoop out the flesh with a fork so it breaks apart into strings; set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger and pepper; set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add onion and celery, and cook, stirring often, until tender, about three to four minutes. Stir in cabbage until heated through, about one minute. Stir in spaghetti squash and sauce mixture until well combined, about two minutes. Serve immediately.
