4 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
4 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoon canola oil
2 cups fresh bean sprouts
1 chicken breast uncooked and finely sliced
1 bunch green onions
chopped. (use white for dish. Chop about 2 inches of the green stem, just above
white for garnish)
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon soy sauce
½ cup peanuts chopped.
½ cup cilantro, chopped.
Combine rice wine vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce and sugar
in a bowl. Set aside.
Beat eggs together in a bowl. Add soy sauce. Add 1
tablespoon of canola oil to a wok. Heat on high, until the oil is hot. Add the
egg mixture and scramble the eggs. Continue to cook until eggs are set. Remove
to a plate and chop eggs into small pieces.
Add remaining oil to wok; add chicken and white part of green onion. The
top part will be used for garnish. Cook
until chicken is cooked and slightly browned.
Add squash and egg and toss together. Add sauce. Cook until mixture is
heated through. Garnish with green part of chopped onion, cilantro and peanuts.
Makes 4 servings
To cook squash, heat oven to 350 F. Place squash on a cookie sheet and
roast for 1 hour or until tender when pierced. Remove from the oven and allow
to cool. Slice in half. Scoop out seeds. Then use a fork to remove squash from
shell. Gently untangle the squash and place in a bowl until ready to use.
I modified this recipe from one in Fitness Magazine. The
article where the original appeared said replacing the rice noodles with the
spaghetti squash helps to shave 500 calories off of a regular serving.
