Spaghetti Squash and Bok Choy Low-Carb Salad
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Pierce the spaghetti squash about 10 times with a fork and set it on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Bake in the preheated oven until a knife goes in easily, 45 to 60 minutes. Take it out of the oven and let it cool until easy to handle.

  3. 3

    Slice the spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds. Shred the flesh from the peel with a fork and transfer to a large bowl; let it cool.

  4. 4

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the bok choy stems and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the green leaves and sprinkle with salt. Cover and cook over low heat until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the bok choy and its cooking liquid to the spaghetti squash and mix together.

  5. 5

    Whisk the soy sauce, sesame oil, red wine vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl. Pour over the salad and mix well.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
