Our family is huge on Chinese food; but I’m sure it’s probably not the best thing to eat everyday. When I came across this recipe, I knew I had to give it a try. I now prefer this over Chinese restaurants. It tastes so clean and fresh, and I even like the taste more! Enjoy your stay at home Chinese!

Not sure why the long method of cooking the spaghetti squash. Based on size, I cut in 1/2, remove seeds, rub a little olive oil on the flesh, sprinkle with salt and pepper and put cut side down on microwave safe dish. Cook time is roughly 13 minutes but based on individual microwave. Outside gets soft and after letting cool off, shreds up easily. I think the rest of the process sounds great and I will be trying this very soon!
