See if you have a local Oriental Market

is that NB as in New Brunswick? I googled it and apparently there is a Mings Oriental Market there.

I'm in Ontario, they sell them at T&T, it's an asian grocery chain. As for what they are, they're super low calorie tofu yam "noodles". Some people like them, some don't. I tried them and did not like them. If you manage to find them make sure you rinse them really really well before using them, they're packaged in a fishy smelling liquid.

I order them online from here: http://www.asianfoodgrocer.com/

1-lb bags of noodles are about $3.50. I ordered 20 bags and the shipping was only $7 to Maryland! 0 calories noodles, they've become my favorite food. With steamed broccoli and my PB2 satay sauce (only 40 cal 1/4 cup, and it tastes like full-fat peanut sauce!).

I just posted it in another thread, but it's so good I want to share it again:

PB2 Satay sauce

1 box light silken tofu
1.5 T splenda
.5 t salt
3 T PB2
1 t red thai curry paste
1 t tumeric
1.5 t chili garlic paste
.5 t coconut extract

combine until smooth. Makes 1.5 cups.

You have to boil the noodles, don't just rinse them. They have no flavor at all after boiling and draining. They need a strong sauce like spaghetti or satay.

thanks! maybe i'll order some to try. we dont have any asian markets around here, or near by
Do you have to boil them or will rinsing suffice? I've trying to find som ehealthy foods that I can have in my dorm room that don't require cooking lol.
