Pad Thai is one of my favorite dishes to order out and I've been dying to make my own. I modified the traditional dish by using spaghetti squash instead of rice noodles and and Thai peanut sauce instead of Pad Thai sauce.
Cut spaghetti squash in half and scoop out seeds. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay spaghetti squash face down on baking sheet, and add 1/4 cup water. Bake for about 30-45 minutes, depending how big the squash is, until fork tender. Let cool.
Once cool, scrape out the spaghetti squash using a fork. Place in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
FOR THE REST:
Pound the chicken to ½ inch thickness and chop into bite-sized pieces.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in large wok or pan until rippling. Season chicken to taste with salt, pepper, garlic and turmeric (if using).
Cook chicken over medium heat, stirring throughout until cooked through (about 6-8 minutes). Transfer chicken to a bowl and set aside.
Crack eggs over preheated pan (where you cooked the chicken) and allow to fry for about a minute, then break them up with a spoon.
Add the onions and cook until slightly soft, about 2 minutes.
Add chicken, carrots (or sprouts), and spaghetti squash. Pour sauce over entire mixture and stir until incorporated.
