SPAGHETTI SQUASH AND PORK STIR FRY
Spaghetti Squash and Pork Stir Fry is a fast and easy low carb dinner with minimal prep. It is a twist on a Szechuan classic noodle dish "Ants Climbing a Tree", but uses spaghetti squash instead of noodles!

Steps:
- Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce and cornstarch until smooth. Add the ground pork and mix together until incorporated. Allow to sit for half an hour.
- While meat is marinating, prepare spaghetti squash. Cut ends off of squash and then split in half. Scoop out seeds and "innards", then place squash in a microwave safe dish, cut side up. Microwave for 12-20 minutes, until done. Squash is done when skin can easily be pierced with a knife and flesh easily shreds with a fork.
- After allowing the squash to cool for a few minutes, use a fork to shred the flesh into "noodles". Drain in a colander lined with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat, then add the oil.
- When pan and oil are hot, add the pork and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes, breaking the meat into smaller pieces.
- Add ⅔ of the green onions to the pork, then continue to cook until the meat is well browned, about 2 more minutes.
- Lower heat to medium high and add the broth. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, until broth is reduced.
- Add handfuls of the spaghetti squash noodles, stirring as you go to combine.
- Top with the rest of the green onions and serve.
SPAGHETTI SQUASH & PORK STIR-FRY
Here's an unusual but delicious way to use the delicate strands of spaghetti squash--in an Asian-inspired pork stir-fry. The flavors of toasted sesame oil, fresh ginger, garlic and a hit of spicy red chile sauce cling to the beautiful strands. Serve with jasmine rice.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Cut the squash in half lengthwise, then halve each piece crosswise; remove the seeds. Transfer to a large glass bowl and add 1/4 cup water. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Uncover and let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then add the olive oil. Working in two batches, add the pork and cook until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
- Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the capers and cook until sizzling, 1 minute. Add the wine and lemon juice. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Add the broth; boil until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Keep warm over low heat.
- Drain the squash and scrape the flesh into strands with a fork; discard the skin. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir the herbs into the pan sauce and transfer to a liquid measuring cup. Return the skillet to medium heat and add the tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly blistered, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the pork with the squash and tomatoes; drizzle the squash and pork with the pan sauce.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH STIR-FRY
This is a great way to use this healthy squash. Chef's note 9/13: I just changed it up and it worked perfectly. I used the squash as directed and added more carrots (I didn't have bell peppers). I used the broth and soy sauce as well as a heaping tablespoon of spicy black bean sauce. It was so tasty, I put it under a chicken and broccoli stir fry and I didn't need any rice.

Steps:
- Pierce the squash with the tip of a sharp knife in several places; place on a paper plate and microwave on high 20 minutes, until just softened, turning once during cooking. Let stand 5 minutes to cool. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Using a fork, scoop out the pulp. Measure out 6 cups of squash (reserving any remaining squash for another use).
- Spray a large nonstick skillet or wok with nonstick spray; heat. Add the vegetables and cook, stirring as needed, until tender-crisp, 7 - 8 minutes.
- Stir in the spaghetti squash, broth, soy sauce, basil and black pepper; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve, sprinkled with cheese.

WINTER SQUASH AND PORK STIR-FRY
This Mark Bittman recipe from 2006 pairs sweet winter squash with earthy, fatty pork shoulder. The grouping, when stir-fried, "gives squash an unusual final texture - somewhat al dente - and keeps its flavor from becoming too sweet," Mr. Bittman wrote. It's a great option for a weeknight dinner, and a far cry from the cut-and-bake squash of the 1970s.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH & PORK STIR FRY
This is a healthy alternative to LoMein and so tasty. I was skeptical when I first made this recipe because there is so little to it but it really has great flavor and is very easy to make. The dish comes together very quickly and the squash could be baked the day ahead to save time on a busy weeknight. From Sept/Oct. Eating Well magazine

SPAGHETTI SQUASH STIR-FRY
Steps:
- TOFU (optional): Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drain liquid from the tofu and wrap the block of tofu in a clean dish towel to dry it out a bit. Then cut into 1/2-inch cubes and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Add toasted sesame oil and coconut aminos and toss to coat. Spread into an even layer and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until golden brown with crispy edges. Set aside.
- SPAGHETTI SQUASH: If you don't already have leftover cooked spaghetti squash, prepare at this time in either the Instant Pot or oven. The Instant Pot is our preferred method when short on time and the oven is preferred for superior flavor. Shred with a fork and set aside.
- SAUCE: Prepare sauce by adding all ingredients (peanut butter, coconut aminos or tamari, maple syrup, lime juice, and chili garlic sauce (optional)) to a small mixing bowl and whisking to combine. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more chili garlic sauce for heat, lime juice for acidity, maple syrup for sweetness, peanut butter to thicken, or coconut aminos for saltiness and depth of flavor. Set aside.
- STIR-FRY: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add sesame oil, mushrooms, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 minutes or until tender. Reduce heat to medium if browning too quickly. Add garlic, ginger, and green onion (optional) and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add tofu, 3 cups cooked spaghetti squash (adjust amount if altering number of servings), and sauce, and stir to coat evenly with sauce. Cook for 2 minutes or until warmed.
- GARNISH: Optionally, garnish with lime wedges, sliced green onion, cilantro, and chopped peanuts. Add sriracha or chili garlic sauce for a little more heat.
- Best when fresh. Leftovers will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a skillet over medium heat until warmed. Not freezer friendly.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the squash halves, cut-side up, on a baking sheet. Coat the exposed flesh with the canola oil, then sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt. Flip over so the cut side is down, then bake for 40-50 minutes, until the squash is just barely tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Line a baking sheet with 2 clean kitchen towels.
- Use a fork to scrape out the "spaghetti" strands from the squash onto the prepared baking sheet and season with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, tossing to distribute. Let cool for 30 minutes. The spaghetti squash can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days. If using from the cold, remove the squash from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
- While the squash is cooling, make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Grate the garlic on a microplane directly into the bowl. Add the ginger, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and rice vinegar and stir to incorporate. Whisk in the water until smooth.
- Make the stir fry: Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 clove of garlic and stir for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the chicken, ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes, and ½ teaspoon salt and stir to coat. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes, letting it brown without stirring, until no pink remains and the chicken is cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate or bowl.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Without wiping out the pan, add the remaining tablespoon canola oil, remaining garlic clove, and remaining ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the bell peppers and broccoli, stir to coat, then deglaze the pan with the water, scraping up all the browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is starting to soften, 8-10 minutes.
- Add the carrots and cook for another 2 minutes, then add the snow peas and season with a pinch of salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until all of the vegetables are tender. Transfer the vegetables to the plate with the chicken.
- Roll up the spaghetti squash in the kitchen towels and wring to squeeze as much water as possible.
- Add 2 tablespoons of sauce to the pan and let come to a simmer, then add the spaghetti squash and stir constantly until heated through, 1-2 minutes. Divide the squash among serving bowls.
- Pour the remaining sauce into the pan and let simmer for about 1 minute, until thickened. Return the chicken and vegetables to the pan and toss to coat evenly in the sauce and heat everything through, 2-3 minutes. Divide among the bowls atop the squash. Garnish each bowl with thinly sliced scallions. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
