For this recipe I wanted to show the versatility of soybean based products so I decided to make something most of us love and crave on a regular basis: pad thai!
I’m using tofu shirataki noodles (fettuccini type) because they are the closest to flat rice noodles. I also wanted to keep this dish low in sodium so I substituted the saltiness for acidity and added sriracha sauce for a little extra heat. The result is pretty close to the real thing!
You can also add chicken or tofu to this tofu shirataki noodles pad Thai recipe if you want it to be more filling. The noodles soften when they are cooked and take on a very similar texture to rice noodles.
The only difference is they do not absorb flavor as well as starchy noodles so I recommend letting your pad Thai sit for a couple of minutes before eating it.
This helps the flavors settle on to the tofu shirataki noodles.
There is so much you can do with House Foods tofu shirataki noodles and with summer arriving really soon, they make amazing cold noodle dishes! You can eat tofu shirataki noodles dipped in cold ponzu sauce (like my chilled ponzu noodles with avocado and peppers) or served as a substitute to pasta or udon noodles. I’m telling you, the options are endless with tofu shirataki noodles!
