A lower cal/fat version of the classic creamy noodle dish, using my favorite tofu noodles! You can also use regular noodles with the sauce of course. This makes enough sauce to cover an added meat or vegetable.

Steps:
- Heat the canola oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet or wok, and add the tofu. Stir-fry until the tofu is lightly colored, three to five minutes, and add the garlic, ginger and chili flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about one minute, and add soy sauce to taste. Add the spinach and stir-fry until the spinach wilts, about one minute. Stir in the sesame seeds, and add more soy sauce to taste. Remove from the heat.
- Using tongs, transfer the spinach and tofu mixture to a serving bowl, leaving the liquid behind in the pan or wok. Drizzle with the sesame oil, and add more soy sauce as desired. Serve with rice or other grains, or noodles. You may also use it as a filling for whole wheat pita bread.
TOFU SHIRATAKI FETTUCCINI ALFREDO
Since going low carb, I'm always on the look out for something new that isn't going to blow my diet. I used some non-dairy products to lower the cholesterol as well. I did use some Romano cheese instead of the Parmesan. I also added a cut up piece of cooked turkey bacon to my dish. Having found these Shirataki low carb noodles was a God-send. I got the recipe from the back of the Tofu Shirataki package. This product has no cholesterol, sugar or gluten and is Vegan to boot, now I can have my noodles and eat them too.

Tips:
- Use firm or extra-firm tofu: This will help the tofu hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling when cooking.
- Press the tofu before cooking: This will help to remove excess moisture and make the tofu more firm.
- Marinate the tofu before cooking: This will help to add flavor and moisture to the tofu.
- Cook the tofu over medium heat: This will help to prevent the tofu from burning.
- Do not overcook the tofu: Overcooked tofu will become tough and rubbery.
- Add the shirataki noodles to the sauce at the end of cooking: This will help to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Serve the dish immediately: This will help to prevent the noodles from becoming soggy.
