Silky threads of spaghetti squash are perfect in this Asian-inspired pork stir-fry. If you bake the squash ahead of time, the dish comes together in less than 30 minutes for a quick and healthy dinner.
Serves 4
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cut squash in half. Scoop out and discard seeds. Place each half, cut-side down, on a baking sheet. Bake until the squash is tender, about 1 hour. Let cool for 10 minutes then shred the flesh with a fork into a bowl. Discard the shell.
Slice pork into thin rounds; cut each round into matchsticks.
Heat a large wok over medium-high heat. Swirl in oil, then add scallions, garlic, ginger and salt; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the pork; cook, stirring constantly, until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the squash threads and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar and chile sauce (or chile oil); cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
