Thai Spaghetti Squash  -  Low Carb  Recipes

I saw a recipe on AOL today for peanut noodles.

The original recipe was 508 grams of carb for the total recipe, serves 6-8

Here's the makeover for a side dish that is now chilling in my refrigerator.
First of all the original called for a pound of spaghetti for 8 people. My side
dish calls for a pound of spaghetti squash, but the serving size will be
smaller, so the sauce ingredients need to be less. I also substituted green
peppers for the carrots, and processed the peanuts myself for the peanut
butter. The new recipe has 98.6 grams of carb for the whole recipe. 1/8 of the
recipe is 12.8 grams of carb, but I would eat a smaller serving. YMMV.

1/3 cup peanuts
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk (optional)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (more if desired)
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
4 cups cooked spaghetti squash (or 4 cups shredded zucchini)
2 cucumbers
4 ounces green pepper, shredded
3 green onions, chopped coarsely

In food processor, chop peanuts very fine. Add soy sauce, unsweetened coconut
milk, vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, pepper, and salt. Process until it is the
consistency you like. Separate squash into strands. Peel, halve, and core
cucumbers. Slice thinly. Add remaining ingredients, and peanut sauce, and toss
together. Chill until ready to serve.
