Stir-Fry Sesame Tofu

To all the vegetarians out there, this dish is for you.
Last night I made this simple but tasty meal that is about only 8 points on Weight Watchers, and you can cook it under 25 minutes. Pasta is great, but I can do without the carbs, especially when counting points. I am always looking for a substitute that can still taste great but not add too many calories. So, instead of angel hair pasta I decided to use shirataki noodles. Shirataki have little to no carbohydrates and are low in calories. I paired this with tofu and vegetables to make a complete and guilt free meal.   Enjoy!

                                                                   
Stir-Fry Sesame Tofu:
Serves about  4
Total Time: 20-25 minutes

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/3 cup orange juice
• 1 tablespoon honey 
• 1 package firm tofu, drained and cubed
• 2  bags House Foods shirataki angel hair shaped noodles (1 bag equals 2 servings)
• 1/2 head broccoli florets, chopped
• 1/2 bag of green beans (optional)
• 1/2 bag of pea pods (I used fresh, but frozen works fine)
• 1/2 bag of carrots (again, either fresh or frozen is ok), cut up
• 1/2 red pepper, cut into strips
• 1/2 yellow pepper, cut into strips
• 1 can of water chesnuts (drained)
• 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
• Olive oil cooking spray

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, orange juice and honey and put aside.
2. Spray pan with cooking spray and sauté tofu and vegetables in a pan, gradually adding sauce (set aside about 3 tablespoons of sauce for noodles), until vegetables have softened.
3. Remove vegetables and tofu from pan and set aside.
4. Pre-cooked shirataki noodles are quick and easy to prepare. Simply drain, rinse and boil, or pan fry for 2-3 minutes. I prefer to place them in the microwave for 2-3 minutes to dry the noodles out.
5. Add noodles to the pan on medium-low heat and add remaining sauce on to noodles.
6. Add vegetables back into the pan and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
7. Add sesame seeds, stir and serve.
