Guilt Free Noodle Dish

Doesn't this like normal chow fun noodles? It's not! This dish is made with House Foods Tofu Shirataki Noodles (Fettucine). Only 3g carbs and 20 calories per 4 oz. serving (1/2 a package)! The consistency is very similar to regular noodles, but a little more al dente. These noodles do best in stir-frys. You can find them in the tofu section at Safeway, for about $3.00 for an 8 oz. package. Using some leftover poached chicken (from this post), I made this low carb dish:
