A while ago I bought some tofu soup seasonings from Cleveland Asia Market. When I went to buy the tofu at my new favorite supermarket (Heinens) I saw that you can get tofu in NOODLE form!!!
It's still just tofu, nothing else is added. I picked up a pack but also picked up a block of regular tofu too, as I had my doubts about the noodles.
I added the tofu soup seasoning to boiling water and then added soup chopped bok choy. I rinsed the noodles well (they stank!) and then threw them into the soup to heat through.
I served with a sprinkling of sliced green onions.
The soup was delicious! The sauce was very flavorful and had a good spicy punch to it. The noodles were surprisingly good too. They don't have the same consistency of regular noodles, but they managed to hold their shape and didn't smush up (I had thought they would turn into mush). I was able to eat them with my chop sticks.
I used the whole packet of noodles (8oz) and I now have a lovely full, warm belly. The calorie count for the noodles? 40 calories per serving, there are 2 servings per bag, so only 80 calories. I am going to try to make spagetti with them some day, as a way to keep the carb count down.
All in all a successful dinner, I'll definitely be making it again soon!
And here is bonus photo, because I think it's just sooooo cute. Here is Penny waiting in the car for Matt in Buffalo. Too cute!
Sounds delicious, never heard of tofu noodles. We had a big Asian store close by but they were always being 'done' for health violations so have gone now. Not sure where there is another.
