SPAGHETTI SQUASH STIR FRY RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

SPAGHETTI SQUASH "PASTA," PEANUT-SAUCE STIR FRY

Cut tofu into 1/4 inch cubes and set aside. Shave/dice garlic and dice tomato. Set aside together. Heat canola oil in a wok or large frying pan over low-medium heat roughly 10-15 minutes before the squash will be coming out of the oven. Saute tofu for 4-5 minutes with 1/4 cup peanut sauce. Add pepper and onion with another 1/4 cup sauce and crushed red pepper, saute for 5 minutes. Let simmer while you scoop out baked squash with a fork. Add "spaghetti" to frying pan with tomato, garlic, and 1/4 cup peanut sauce. Turn up heat to medium and saute for 2 more minutes. Serve it up in bowls!
