Default Soy/shirataki noodles

These look just like regular wheat noodles, but are made with tofu and
shirataki. I have found them in the form of wide and narrow fettucini
noodles, as well as angel hair and macaroni. Walmart just started
carrying them; previously I could only find them at Publix and
neighborhood Oriental markets. The SO is on a low-carb diet, and these
fit in nicely.

They come in a water-filled bag, and only need rinsing and heating. They
act and look just like regular pasta, but they have a rubberiness when
you bite into them that is more like regular shirataki noodles, although
much more tender. They also don't absorb flavors hardly at all, so it's
good to use a clingy sauce on them; in fact, they have almost no flavor
of their own.

I have used them in a number of recipes, including mac and cheese (using
a packet of cheese powder from Kraft mac and cheese), yum nuah, chicken
noodle soup, dan-dan noodles, and shrimp scampi-style, which I made
tonight. In all cases I would have preferred wheat or rice noodles, but
the SO likes them, and this lets her have dishes that I normally
wouldn't be able to make for her.
