Normally I wouldn’t shy away from noodles but I left them out and made Spaghetti Squash Chow Mein instead. I couldn’t be bothered to run to the store or boil anything in this little heat wave we’re having! The microwave did its thing while I took care of the little bit of prep involved.
This easy recipe comes together in about 20 minutes and can be customized by adding chicken, shrimp or whatever else you may have in the fridge needing to be used up.
