"Orange Ya Hungry?" Stir-fry (with Quorn!)

I love chinese food, but most of the time when you're in college, all you can afford is the "all you can eat" versions which usually aren't very healthy! My version of stir fry is good for you and soooo filling. Instead of a normal meat product, I added Quorn. Quorn has more protein than chicken, with less calories and it also has a nice serving of fiber. Instead of traditional noodles, I am using Spaghetti Squash, which, when cooked produces noodles similar to angel hair pasta. So, with this recipe, you are really getting a nice big serving of veggies!

You will need:

1/4 cup spaghetti squash
3/4 cup bag of frozen stir-fry veggies
2 tbs. Lite Soy Sauce
1 tbs Orange Juice
1 Quorn filet
Garlic Salt (optional)
Spinach leaves (optional)

Directions:

1) SPAGHETTI SQUASH: Cut the spaghetti squash in half. Remove the seeds using a fork. Sprinkle with a seasoning such as garlic salt, and add in a few pieces of minced garlic. Place both halves face down on a foiled cooking sheet. Use a fork and stab holes on the back of both halves. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until tender. When it is tender, you will be able to scoop out the insides, which, when ready, should come out like strands of spaghetti noodles.

2) Microwave the Quorn filet until warm. Remove. Place in shallow bowl and pour in 1 tbs of orange juice and 2 tbs of lite soy sauce. Allow to sit on each side for about 3-5 minutes.

3) Take stir-fry veggies and cook in a skillet on high for a few minutes.

4) Remove Quorn from marinade. Pour leftover marinade in skillet with veggies. Once the veggies start sizzling, add 1/4 cup of spaghetti squash. Cut Quorn into small squares and add to skillet. Sprinkle lightly with garlic salt and allow to cook for another minute.

5) Remove from heat, and serve. I added in spinach leaves at the very end to have some more veggies.

Serve with a nice cup of Miso soup. (See recipe below)
