So those Tofu Shirataki noodles had a lot to live up to last night. I'd been up since 6am and didn't get home until 9pm. And I was hungry.

And my review is...

Not too bad, actually!

Okay. I bought the Tofu Shirataki Fettucini. They are definitely packaged in a fishy broth so open carefully unless you want to get splashed with shrimp liquid. (Hint: you don't.)

I dumped them straight into a colander and rinsed them for a bit. I was pleased to note that the fish smell soon vanished. Whew. Also, it looked like a little less than 1.5 cups of pasta. Not that it matters since its so ridiculously low in calories.

Instead of microwaving them (my microwave is not plugged in at the moment) I tossed them in boiling water for around 2 minutes. I think this might soften them up more than microwaving... but I have no proof of this. I might try salting the water next time. You know, to see if it adds more flavor and for the hell of it.

Anyhoo, I made sort of a pasta salad with it. Don't be grossed out. I have weird tastes.

After taking the pasta out of the pot I tossed it with:

1 Laughing Cow Light Swiss
2 slices smoked turkey, diced
1 dollop of Dijonnaise.
A healthy dash of salt and pepper.

It was pretty good! Like a turkey sandwich on pasta. The noodles are bit tougher than regular pasta. Maybe three minutes in boiling water next time.

I ate a whole package (40 calories, supposedly) and I was actually pretty full! Although I had room for dessert, of course. But the whole meal was a ridiculous 2 points (I always round up).

I think these noodles would work best stir-fried in a wok with veggies and chicken, in soups and in cheesy sauces. I agree with Hungry-Girl, who I certainly do not always agree with, taste-wise, (too much fat-free, sugar-free for me... I like a little of the real thing rather than a lot of artificial but that's just me) that these noodles might not go best with all tomato sauces. Although she has a recipe for noodles in fake meat sauce that I'm in a hurry not to try.

Here are some recipes to check out. I'm buying the boyfriend a wok for Chrismanukkah, so I'm into the pan fried noodles...

In short, I would absolutely buy them again. I would not eat them every night, but in a pinch, when you're hungry and only have three friggin' points to spend on dinner? Ideal.
