Miracle (stinky) Noodle Butt Kicker






Okay, you might have heard the latest craze with a product called "Miracle Noodles." They are all the rage on HCG diets and theres been a lot of buzz about them.

This brand I got for 1.99 at Whole Foods back in the cold section in the back of the store, I've also heard that they carry them now at Reasors and the actual "Miracle" brand at Atkins.

Heres my butt kicking version.

One note before the recipe, just because something had very little fat, very little calories, very little anything does NOT mean it is healthy. To make it healthy, you MUST add some great things with it, like veggies or chicken. Okay... here we go:

Preparing veggies and sauce: (you notice it is almost the same in the previous spring roll recipe)

.5 zucchini chopped however you like
.5 carrot chopped however you like
.5 yellow squash chopped however you like
1 cup of frozen podded edamame
toss in a splash of organic apple cider vinger
1-2 tbls of Thai peanut sauce
1 tbls of Sweet Chili Sauce
1 tsp of hot chili pepper (if you like it hot!)
Put this all in a tight container and leave over night in the fridge.

To prepare the noodles:

Watch out, these noodles do stink right out of the package, to remove that "tofu odor" dump 1 bag in a strainer and rinse VERY well. Use your hands, feel the "slime" wash away and take wiffs of it every now and then. You will know when the odor is gone.

Next, cover noodles with water and microwave for a solid 2 minutes, drain again then pour out on paper towls or cloth to dry them as much as possible.

Take your prepare veggies, dump the noodles on top and mix well. Nuke them again in the microwave for about another minute once all mixed together to equal it all out.

Enjoy!

Side note: This is a great way to eat pasta, when we all know we should not eat any pasta. The Texture is pretty good, a little slimier than regular noodles, but hey, YOU'RE GETTING TO EAT NOODLES!

  1. ALSO, sprinkle with seasame seeds to add a little more flavor. You can also top with some kind of chicken and share with your pals.
