Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Strands of spaghetti squash stand in for rice noodles as a welcome surprise in this low-carb take on pad thai. All you need are a few key ingredients to cook this favorite thai takeout dish in your own kitchen. The signature flavor in pad thai comes from the combination of the sweet, salty, and sour flavors found in the sauce, which is composed of tamarind, fish sauce, and sugar. Tamarind can usually be found in health food stores or gourmet markets and also ordered online. Some of the thicker pastes still have the seeds in it, so be sure to separate them from the pulp before using. Tofu adds a boost of protein and rather than making a mess of your stove with frying it, theres a fuss-free secret weapon right in your own kitchenthe broiler. No splatters, minimal clean up, and youll still have crispy bits of tofu with every forkful of your pad thai.
