I just love tofu shirataki noodles for lunch and am always looking for low calorie ways to prepare them. Here's one I created with a little leftover low-fat cream cheese and skim milk! Recipe makes one serving, but could easily be adjusted. Ingredients:
1 ounce neufchatel cheese |
1 tablespoon milk |
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon dried chives |
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt |
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
1 (8 ounce) package tofu shirataki noodles, rinsed drained and patted dry |
Directions:
1. Drain and rinse shirataki noodles. Cook in microwave for 1 minute then rinse, drain, pat dry and chop noodles into manageable lengths.
2. Melt reduced fat cream cheese and milk in the microwave on medium heat for 1-3 minutes. Stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and warm.
3. Add chives, garlic salt, lemon juice, ground pepper and tofu noodles.
4. Return to microwave, heating for another 1-2 minutes stirring every 30 seconds until desired temperature is reached.
