Vegie Shirataki Noodle Soup - "Asian" style
1 pkg (8oz) Shirataki Noodles (I used the Spaghetti style - House Foods, Tofu Shirataki) 2 1/4 cups chicken broth (water and McCormick bouillon cube - or change to your flavour preferance) 8 oz. following chopped vegies: (any combination - but these were the approx. amounts I used) (3oz) asparagus (2oz) broccoli (1oz) mushrooms (1oz) green onions (finely chopped) (1oz) celery (finely chopped) 3-4 dashes Kikkoman Soy Sauce 1 Tb salsa (optional) salt & pepper to taste
Prepare the noodles (rinse well under hot water, then gently heat/dry in frying pan sprayed with PAM). Heat chicken broth to boiling, then turn down heat. Add asparagus first, gently boiling for about 4 mins., then add remain vegies, soy sauce , salt & pepper. Add noodles and continue cooking for about 10-12 mins. for noodles to get the flavour. Stir in 1Tb salsa before serving for added "zip".
(2) Garnish: (4 oz Noodles each) (1) Vegie 1/2 Salsa serving
DELISH!
Background story - I made this tonight because I had run out of protein options for dinner. I found the Ketogenics Pancake/Waffle Mix (1 protein), and used it for breakfast with the Walden Farms pancake syrup. My family has BIG weekend tradition - pancakes, waffles, bacon or sausage every weekend. So I wanted to "fit in".....
