Love them as well. They have them in the larger Safeways, right by tofu. Such a good sub for noodles!0 -
i havent tried those noodles but i live in a chinatown so i frequently get all kinds of noodles made from rice, yams, etc. all are gluten free and usually pretty cheap (1 huge pack is usually about $1) as well as lower in calories than noodles made from wheat flour.
i'll have to look for the tofu ones0 -
i boil mine in chicken broth for few minutes then dry pan fry them with whatever i have on hand....yum!0

Hi everyone,
So in an effort to stay on track, I did some research and shopped around and found this incredible product: Tofu noodles that are 20 calories for half the package. I made them yesterday... they taste and feel like real pasta! They are incredible - and I will be using them over regular pasta. They are super filling and you can garnish them any way you want.
Just wanted to share this tid bit with you! They are sold at my Longo's, but I am sure you can find them anywhere!
You really think they taste like actual pasta?!0 -
thanks for sharing, i will have to look for them0

Spaghetti squash Rocks...Not a squash fan until I tried.It acts like noddles and can barely tell so much healthier.I steam half in a glass square pan with a lil water in the micro wave for 8 min and it shreds with a fork like strings out like(noddles)of course take the seeds out first,but is a good substitute.0

The reason its low in calories is because it has less nutrients and flavour than normal pasta lol :drinker:0

I know many people who use this as an alternative to pasta, but I just couldn't get over the texture! For me, pasta is my "gateway drug." Instead, I use vegetables, whether spaghetti squash or broccoli slaw. It doesn't taste like pasta (obviously), but I don't need to worry about going over my calories and it's much healthier than tofu noodles.0

one serving is 1/2 cup of regular pasta and only 150 calories. Don't get people trying to substitute with gross stuff. Just eat a portion and enjoy.
If you think they are gross, you probably didn't prepare them correctly. You need to rinse them THOROUGHLY for 5+ minutes in as hot of water your sink can do. After they are rinsed and drained, cook them in a large dry saute pan for 5+ minutes until the outside of them are dry. If you actually do these 2 steps correctly, they don't have any odor, or any strange taste. They absorb the flavors that you cook them in.
Definitely worth it when 1/2 cup.. heck, 50 cups of them are 0 calories. You just have to make sure you start it right to have a great finished product. I have a recipe on here for Vietnamese Seafood Pho that uses them. There is also a Pad Thai recipe floating around the forums that is pretty great.0 -
you should be eating more calorie dense foods. This is kind of embarassing. Do they contain nutrition at all - or are they just something with no calories and no point in eating them other than to be able to eat?

I used to love these... but for whatever reason, I really can't eat them anymore. *sigh* I think it's because I briefly went back to normal noodles... :noway:0

Thanks!
It comes in a liquid... so you drain it, and just pan fry them (with no oil or anything) until they're dry. Takes about 5 - 7 minutes.0 -

After you rinse them thoroughly, drain them, and put them in a dry saute pan and cook on high for 5+ minutes until the outside of the noodles are completely dry. It finishes taking the fishy smell off the noodles and slightly changes the texture so that they are more appealing for the average person.0
