New Product - Noodle substitute

This recipe was in a mailing I receive from Hungry Girl and it sounds like comfort food to me.   I can't do pastas usually but was wondering about this since it's made from tofu.   It can be found at Giant and Weis stores.   Thought maybe some of the vegans might have already tried it and have an opinion?    Check out the proteins....

HG's Beef Strogataki
        
Use Your Noodle!         
        
Attention, Shirataki skeptics! Our favorite noodle swap works INSANELY WELL in this creamy, beefy, head-explodingly delicious recipe. TRY IT AND SEE! Special thanks to HG subscriber Shari, who inspired this stroganoff swap-a-rama...

Ingredients:
4 oz. raw lean filet beefsteak, thinly sliced (freeze slightly before slicing)
1 package House Foods Tofu Shirataki Fettuccine Shaped Noodle Substitute
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
1 wedge The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese , room temperature
1 tsp. dry au jus gravy mix (like the kind by McCormick )
1 tsp. plain fat-free yogurt
salt and bla ck pepper, to taste
olive oil nonstick spray

Directions:
Rinse and drain Shirataki noodles well. Pat dry. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave noodles for 1 minute.

Drain excess liquid from noodles. Dry thoroughly, using paper towels to soak up as much moisture as possible. Cut noodles up a bit using a knife or kitchen shears. Set aside.

Bring a large pan misted with olive oil spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Cook beef in the pan until fully cooked, about 4 minutes, flipping slices about halfway through cooking. Remove beef from the pan and set aside.

Combine gravy mix with 1 cup water and stir until dissolved. Carefully pour mixture into the pan (over medium-high heat on the stove). Add mushrooms and onion, and coo****il veggies are tender and sauce has thickened, about 7 - 10 minutes.

Add cheese wedge and stir until melted. Add yogurt and stir well, until sauce appears uniform and ingredients are th oroughly combined.

Add noodles and beef to the pan, and mix until completely coated. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and eat up!

never  heard of it but I am willing to be a guinea pig! lol I'll stop at Giant one night this week and see if I can find it -I guess with the international foods?

Not sure.  It does say it doesn't have a long shelf life so possibly a refrigerated section.  Maybe do a look-up at customer service.   Let me know what you think.    I'll scout it out in my area too.

Liz, I think you can find them where you would find tofu and stuff like that my store they are in the produce area refrigerated case.

they are in the front section with the produce at the Horsham Giant
My daughter in law likes them, I eat dreamfields pasta

I've been wanting to try shirataki noodles but haven't gotten around to them yet.

Do you guys check out www.Hungrygirl.com?   
She sends daily emails with nutritional info and recipes and that is where I learned of the tofu noodles.     Defintiely a website worth checking out :)

I know all about Shirataki Noodles. You must acquire a taste for them. They are very rubbery ( I hope I spelled that right) they are like eating a bowl of rubber bands. They are tough to get use to.  They do not have a long shelf life but you can freeze them. They are good once you get used to the consistency. You can get them at Whole Foods where the Tofu is. I would rather eat Tofu!

Thanks for that honest review.   I'm a texture girl but if I know about the "rubbery" feel going in, I'll be able to handle it better.   Never in my life would I have thought tofu would be in my eating repertoire, but post WLS I'm a huge fan.   One of those funny things that happened to my tastebuds
