My 236 Calorie (Very Filling) Italian-style Lunch

finallychelle

I dry-fried a package of tofu shirataki noodles (on "HIGH" in a non-stick pan sprayed with cooking spray), lowered the heat to medium, then added a diced, leftover 3 oz boneless skinless chicken breast and 2 cups of crushed tomatoes-- along with an obscene amount of garlic and basil.

I let it all simmer for about 20 minutes and ended up with over a POUND of lip-smacking, delicious food that only had 236 calories!

I *love* tofu shirataki noodles and eat them at least once per day. If you rinse them well and dry-fry them, as I described, they taste fantastic.

This sorta looks like what I had for lunch...were your crushed tomatoes low sodium? I realized the ones I used definitely added crazy sodium..argh...

This is a great tip! I love love love shirataki noodles, too. I have been using several paper towels to dry them, and then I microwave them. But I will definitely try this "dry fry" technique! I don't understand people who say they are disgusting.

OMG this looks amazing! I will have to try it.

Wow, that looks delish. Doubt I can get those noodles around here, though. Live in the boonies. They don't even know what 'sprouted grain' bread is. Sheesh! Will have to make my own soon. *rolls eyes*

I had the same problem. The only place that had them anywhere near me was Whole Foods, but they were out of them every time I went. So I ordered them online--for a better price, too. I highly recommend them. http://www.house-foods.com/Tofu/tofu_shirataki.aspx

They keep for a long time in the fridge, so I got a variety pack. :-)

Bump is a way to keep track of a thread you want to follow. It makes it easier to find it at a later time without having to search the boards for the topic.

I think it moves the messages up or something in the forum??? I've seen it before on another group forum I am part of. But I'm probably wrong.

Ok, I was wrong! Now how do we keep track of it?

I wanted to like them, I promise you. But the hard/rubbery texture and the smell of fisssshhhh emanating off them turned me off. :sick:

MsPinVa

oh thank you!!! Another alternative! usually I fix my pasta/italian cravings using spaghetti squash as the noodles, this looks way more like spaghetti

Thanks, I'll try this...

You must must must dry fry the noodles if you want to be happy with them. It gets rid of whatever fishy smell remains after rinsing and improves the texture. Spray your pan with Pam and cook on high until they're bone dry.
