Mei Fun Lower carb

Mei fun is one of my favorite Chinese dishes. The problem is: its made with the high carb rice sticks. They're great and all but not practical if you're trying to lower your carbs. So, try spaghetti squash!

  •  10 oz cooked spaghetti squash
  • 1/2 tsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • 10 oz chicken breast, shredded
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 1/2 tsp oyster sauce
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • pinch of five spice
  • 2 slices of ginger, julienned
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 5 oz shredded cabbage
  • 3 sliced scallions
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

  1. Scrape out your squash "noodles" and toss with a little sesame oil to keep it from clinging together.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, white pepper, five spice
  3. On medium heat, heat the vegetable oil.
  4. Toss into the oil the vegetables and saute on medium heat until translucent.
  5. Mix the oyster sauce, water, and soy sauce and the cornstarch/seasons together 
  6. Pour into the vegetables and add in the chicken breast
  7. Toss to coat and warm
  8. Add in the "noodles" to reheat and serve.
