Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I've been updating my diet to make it more cardio-friendly, and in the process of looking for pasta alternatives I found a very interesting low-carb, low-calorie noodle/rice substitute called Shirataki. It comes in a variety of types of noodles, and even rice, and is packaged in water and found in the refrigerated section of the market.
I have enjoyed the Tofu Shirataki noodles which taste somewhere between pasta and rice noodles, cook in 1-2 minutes, and hold up surprisingly well in stir fry. Here's an article about the benefits.
Thanks for this, Starsky. I took your advice and got some. Your review is right on the money. We chose this variety pack to get started and are impressed with the flavor and texture.
