Spaghetti Squash Chow Mein (tofu)

 Vegan and Gluten-Free (8 simple ingredients)

Ingredients

• 1 large spaghetti squash
• 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari (or coconut aminos to make paleo)
• 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
• 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 red onion, diced
• 3 stalks celery
• 2 cups shredded cabbage (or coleslaw mix...I didn't have any)
• Cilantro 

Directions

Cut a spaghetti squash in half length wise and scoop out seeds. Lay skin side up in a 13 x 9 pyrex and pour 1/2 inch of water in the bottom of the pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes, until flesh is very tender. Once done, scoop out flesh with a fork so it breaks apart into strings, set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, and ginger; set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in cabbage an celery until heated through, a few minute. 

Stir in spaghetti squash and soy sauce mixture until well combined, about 2 minute. Turn off heat and top with chopped up cilantro.

Serve immediately, and enjoy!

Notes - I reheated some left over tofu to top it off for a little more protein.
