These noodles are one of my FAVORITE new finds. Well, maybe not so new, I've been eating them since summer. They are a great option instead of a high carb pasta. They are at Whole Foods, Kroger, and sometimes Publix for about $1.50-2.00 per packet. Let me save you a little time- they are found with the cold tofu normally around the perimeter of the store (I walked around Whole Foods for way too long my first trip!)
PROS
- Low carb
- Low cal (40 cals per PACKAGE!)
- Gluten free
- No cholesterol
- Vegan
WARNING
- Make sure you rinse them VERY WELL. As my very Italian, doesn't understand how or why I could EVER stray from his homemade pasta el pomodore, Dad once said, "Ew Jul those smell like feet". Don't let this scare you away!! Toss thoroughly in a colander to prevent the commentary.
WHAT TO DO WITH THEM?
- If you're in a rush, throw them in with some pasta sauce.
- Stir fry with veggies and chicken
- Try to pair the noodles with a protein to keep you full and satisfied for longer
Let us know what you think! Jo has yet to try them... I'll have her post her review
Make them into peanut butter noodles with asian chicken!!!
ReplyDeleteHey! I answered your question about the Ener-G on my blog. It's definitely a good substitute in baking (completely egg and gluten free). If she wants like a scrambled egg substitute, I always use tofu . . . I know some have gluten, but I've heard not all do! So just check around I guess? Hope that helps!
