Tonight I made the most delicious dinner. How do I know it was delicious? Because everyone ate it all before I could take a picture of it. That’s how.
I bought shirataki noodles, which are tofu noodles kept in a liquid and usually refrigerated. A whole package of these noodles are about ten calories, so I am a fan. I will warn those who are interested: The liquid they come in smells like the black death, so make sure to wash the noodles with water before cooking. Also, you should boil the noodles for about 2 minutes just to make sure they won’t taste like dead horse butt. Once you wash them off and boil ’em a bit, they end up tasting like pre-chicken powder ramen.
In any case, I cooked up these noodles with garlic, onions, soy bean sprouts, mushrooms, chicken, broccoli and soy sauce. Twas delicious. The noodles themselves don’t really have a taste, so make sure when cooking with them that you toss them in with something that is strong (or at least, stronger than nothing). I see myself cooking this again in the future–it was quick, easy, and tasted yummy.
*wonders why the packaging/preserving liquid has such a funky smell* Hmm, maybe, even after it’s washed, that’s what imparts some of the flavor? 😮
