Tofu Shirataki

Finally bought a pack of these to try today.

I'm thinking of making tomato pasta with it.... throw in some chicken and vegetables.

Do you usually use the entire pack for one meal (its 2 servings... but only 40 cals per serving :) Or is 1/2 package plenty when used with veggies, meat, etc

How should I go about to preparing it? Should I drain it, rinse it, and than stir-fry it along with my meat and veggies??

Thanks!

P.S. - beside the Tofu Shirataki, I saw ZERO calorie yam flour noodles. Has anyone else seen these?? Seemed kinda sketchy, so I just stuck to the Tofu Shirataki....

Tofu Shirataki Noodles .... I usually eat the whole bag (40 calories). I place them in a colander and rinse them under very hot water for 3 minutes, and I usually cut them with kitchen shears. Then I use them as I would use pasta. (Some sauces will stick better if you paper towel pat them dry.)

Yam Flour Noodles (Plain Shirataki Noodles) ...  I get these all the time at our local asian grocery store. I rinse them just like above. Then I will use them in a spicy radish salad, add them to an asian stir fry, or I will make chicken noodle soup with them (add water chestnuts, green onion, straw mushrooms, and chicken to low sodium chicken bouillon. Carrots can be good, too!)

Thanks for your reply!

I can't believe those Yam Flour Noodles are 0 calories.. how is that possible?! Well I guess there is ZERO nutrition as well. (At least the Tofu Shirataki ones have a BIT of protein and fiber.)
Can the Yam Flour noodles also be used as spaghetti with tomato sauce pasta-style?? Anyone tried?

One more point on the Tofu shirataki - after I rinse them I find I  need to pat them dry with a paper towel.  Also, they are definitely better (less rubbery) if you cook them a little...I got turned on to them by Hungry Girl, and I think I've become addicted!  :)

i don't think the yam shirataki noodles have zero calories... the ones i got had about 32 for the pack, which was a bit smaller than the package of Tofu Shirataki noodles.
