Tips and Substitutions:

  1. Scramble eggs separate from the other ingredients- Scrambling the eggs along with everything else will result in everything getting mushy. Especially the spaghetti squash.

  3. No wok?- Use a large cast iron skillet.
  4. Substitute for coconut aminos- Tamari sauce or liquid aminos are great substitutes as they are gluten-free too.

Singapore Spaghetti Squash Noodles FAQ’s:

What are Singapore Noodles?

If you’re not familiar with Singapore Noodles it is a meal you typically find in Chinese or Cantonese restaurants. Despite its name it is not originally a dish from Singapore. It uses a lot of Asian flavors which is probably why I love it so much. I’m a big fan of Asian cuisine and it’s versatile dishes. Singapore Noodles usually calls for rice noodles in most recipes.

How to make Singapore Noodles healthy?

The main goal with this recipe was to make it healthier without compromising its original flavors. All the original spices and oils are used in this version to keep the unique taste you find in the authentic noodles.

At the same time, additional veggies are called for in this recipe than you would usually find in other Singapore Noodles. Different versions of Singapore Noodles call for a variety of different vegetables. I like to use a good amount of  veggies for added nutrients and flavors.

Another swap that was made in this recipe is using spaghetti squash as supposed to traditional rice noodles. This change adds so many more nutrients while making it a low-carb meal. Substituting the rice noodles for spaghetti squash doesn’t compromise the taste at all. Some may even say that the squash makes it that much more delicious. It perfectly compliments the rest of the flavors.

Do spaghetti squash noodles need to be cooked ahead?

Yes. The spaghetti squash needs top be cooked first to then remove the “noodles” from it. You can find the full recipe and directions for the best method for cooking spaghetti squash here.
