Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash

Asian Sauce

Vegetables

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 3 cups shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, sliced (1/3 pound)*
  • 1/4 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
  • 3/4 cup scallions green and white parts separated
  • 1/2 cup carrots cut into matchsticks
  • 1 small red pepper thinly sliced
  • Dash red chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon minced or grated ginger (use a microplane)
  • 1 clove garlic minced or grated
  • 1 tablespoon roasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 – 1 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Carefully halve spaghetti squash lengthwise using a sharp knife. Use a sharp spoon to scrape out the seeds.
  3. Brush the interior with oil and sprinkle with a little salt. Place cut-side up on baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes.
  4. Turnover and roast another 5-15 minutes, until a knife easily pierces the skin and flesh. Remove from oven let cool. Use a fork to scoop out spaghetti squash into fine strings and set aside.
  5. While the squash is cooking prepare the Asian sauce and chop the vegetables.
  6. In a small bowl mix together the vinegar, coconut sugar and tamari. Set aside.
  7. Heat oil in a large saute pan on medium-low. Add mushrooms and salt to the pan, cover and cook 4 minutes, stirring frequently until the mushrooms begin to soften.
  8. Add carrot, red pepper, white part of the scallions and chile flakes and cook, stirring frequently, another 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp tender.
  9. Add ginger, garlic and green part of the scallions. Stir and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  10. Add spaghetti squash. Mix using a fork to separate the ‘noodles’ to combine them evenly with the vegetables.
  11. Add sauce, stir to coat vegetables.
  12. Sprinkle with sesame oil and stir.
  13. Serve topped with lots of fresh cilantro.
