Spaghetti Squash Chow Mein on plateWhen people see spaghetti squash, usually the first recipe that comes to mind involves spaghetti sauce. I decided to give these vegetable noodles an Asian twist by turning them into chow mein. I added shrimp, cashews and veggies to mine. You can try many different meat and vegetable combinations.

If you're vegan but still want "shrimp," try vegan konjac shrimp. Konjac is a flavorless yam that's been called a miracle food. The food made from it are gelatinous, fat and carb-free, and very low in calories. A whole bag of konjac pasta, for example, is about 40 calories. And it has many proven health benefits from improving diabetes, to lowering cholesterol (its high in fiber) to suppressing appetite. Some konjac pasta has tofu powder in it, which makes it look and taste more like real pasta.

Otherwise, it resembles translucent rice noodles. The major complaint from some is that it's too chewy and rubbery to resemble real pasta. But that texture is exactly why it makes a good shrimp substitute. Asians have also used konjac to make squid, clam, scallop, etc substitutes -- basically, anything chewy.
