Ingredients
 

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • 2 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. fish sauce
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 2-4 Tbsp. water
  • 12 oz. extra-firm tofu cut into small cubes
  • 3 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 8 tsp. peanut oil
  • 1 onion
  • 2 egg
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 3/4 cup bean sprouts
  • 4 green onions
  • 2 Tbsp. peanut
  • lime wedges
  • cilantro
  • red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Place squash on a parchment lined baking sheet. Poke squash 2 or 3 times with a fork. Bake for 60 to 80 minutes. Cool for 20 to 30 minutes. Cut squash in half lengthwise. Remove seeds. Scrape flesh into stringy noodles. Set aside.
  • To make sauce, heat tamarind paste, fish sauce, honey and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Add additional water is sauce is too tart. Set aside.
  • Coat tofu in cornstarch in a small bowl; mix well.
  • Heat a large wok (or skillet) over high heat.
  • Add 2 tsp. oil, swirling to cover surface of pan. Add tofu; cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until all sides of tofu are brown. Remove tofu from pan and place on a large plate. Set aside.
  • Add 2 tsp. oil to pan; cook, over high heat, swirling to cover surface of pan. Add onions; cook, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until onion are light golden brown. Remove from pan; place on plate with tofu. Set aside.
  • Add 2 tsp. oil to pan; cook, over high heat, swirling to cover surface of pan. Add eggs; cook over medium heat. Do not stir. As eggs set, lift edges, letting uncooked portion flow underneath, creating a very thin omelet. When eggs are set, cut them with your spatula. Remove eggs from pan and place on plate with tofu and onions. Set aside.
  • Add remaining 2 tsp. oil to pan, swirling to cover surface of pan. Add garlic; cook, over medium-high heat, for 1 minute.
  • Add spaghetti squash, spreading squash into a single layer; cook for 30 second, stir and make another single layer. Repeat this 3 to 6 times, cooking for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until squash is warm and golden brown.
  • Add sauce; mix well.
  • Add bean sprouts and green onions; mix well.
  • Add tofu mixture; cook, stirring frequently, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until well mixed and heated through.
  • Transfer to a large serving platter. Top with peanuts, lime wedges, cilantro, and crushed red pepper. Serve immediately.
