Method
- Place the spaghetti squash in a large mixing bowl
- In a separate bowl, combine the water, soy sauce, tahini, rice vinegar, and pepper flakes, mixing well
- Pour over the spaghetti squash and set aside
- Place the sesame seeds in a small, heavy skillet over high heat and shake the skillet constantly until the seeds start to make little popping sounds and jump in the skillet
- When that happens, immediately turn off the heat and shake the seeds out onto a small plate to cool
- Set aside
- Just before you’re ready to serve the dish, heat the oil in a large skillet or wok
- Add the mushrooms, pepper, celery, onion, snow peas, ginger, and garlic and stir-fry over high heat for 7 to 10 minutes or until tender-crisp
- When the vegetables are done, add them to the large mixing bowl with the spaghetti squash mixture and toss until well combined
- Pile the squash mixture on serving plates
- Top the meat-eaters servings with the shrimp, chicken, pork, or ham (if using) and scatter sesame seeds over each serving
