Accidental Thai Noodles are an epicurean dream blended with a medley of herbs and spices.
Dressing
Serves 2-3
- 2 Tbsp cashew butter (you can find it at any health store)
- 3 Tbsp chicken broth
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp freshly grated ginger
- 2 tsp tamari (gluten free soy sauce)
- 1 tsp chili powder (or sub 1 tsp Paleo Sriracha)
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Meat and Noodles
- 2 large chicken breasts, cubed
- 1 Spaghetti Squash
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp fresh garlic
- 2 tsp freshly grated ginger
- 4 scallions, chopped thinly
- 1 Tbsp fish sauce
- 1 Tbsp tamari (gluten free soy sauce)
- 1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro
- Pepper, to taste
Directions
2. In a bowl, whisk all dressing ingredients together and set aside so the flavors can marry
3. Melt the coconut oil in a skillet and add the chicken, garlic, scallions and ginger.
5. Turn skillet down to low and add dressing.
6. When the squash is done, use a fork to pull out the ‘noodles’. They should easily pull out and fall into noodle-like pieces. Serve meat and dressing mixture over noodles.

why is tamari listed? It contains soybeans? Soybeans are a Paleo No-no. This recipe isn’t paleo compliant.
why do so many people ask before they read again. it’s such a clear description. not just here.
Why is tamari acceptable in a paleo recipe? While this one calls for a gluten-free version, it is still made from soybeans, which are not paleo.
This recipe is fantastic! Even my reluctant husband loved it and had 2 helpings. The contrast of the sweet spaghetti squash with the spicy chicken is perfect! I don’t think I will ever cook regular noodles again.
This recipe sounds soooooo amazing. I was wondering how I could use my spaghetti squash other than a side dish.
I just had gastric sleeve surgery and am still on a liquid diet, but this will definitely be added to one of the “solid food” meals within the next month or so.
Sorry, only the temp is needed for the spaghetti squash.
Ah, I saw that it’s chicken. How much? Whole, diced, sliced?
it says it’s supposed to be cubed
What is the meat in this recipe?
