Shirataki tofu noodle review



Shirataki tofu noodle review







Hey guys,

Basically today is a short review about today’s lunch. I first learned about those in a Hungry girl article on the Weight Watchers website. I was intrigued and I purchased them the next day.

It’s a Japanese noodle made of tofu and yam (konjac) flour. The whole two-serving package only has 40 cals and have ONE points plus value (On Weight Watchers)!
It does replace rice or wheat pasta in ALL my Asian inspired dishes. But if I’m making anything Italian, I’ll still use regular pasta.

Hungry girl approved













Step 1
Rinse the noodle very well because the Konjac as a weird smell (don’t worry about it, just rinse thoroughly. I even add a little lemon juice in my rinsing water.)


Step 2
Boil for 2-3 mins and drain.

Step 3
Prepare your Protein…as per package direction.
In this case I’m using meatless Gardein Mandarin orange Crispy chick’n
4 pts WW point plus per serving
 
I’m preparing a post about Gardein soon, Very good product but high in sodium, so watch the salt if you use them in a recipe
Step 4
Sauté the noodles with your choice of vegetable in some olive oil (1 teaspoon)



Step 5
Add your seasoning. Here I added about a teaspoon of Hoisin sauce and Sriracha sauce. Quick and easy!



And wait for it… the whole meal is 7 points plus on weight watchers! Enjoy!


Looks and taste just like Take-out!
