Stir Fry

This is not the best picture of this dish, but, I promise, it is worth writing about.  I was at the grocery store on Sunday, and happened to look over at some tofu noodles in the produce department.  I could take or leave tofu, but I had never tried my hand at cooking it.  The nutrition information grabbed my attention as well as the price.  I saw that there were 10 calories in a serving (I believe there are technically 2 servings to a bag) and they were buy two for $3.  I decided to give it a try.  I also grabbed some bok choy, broccoli, and mushrooms, which all lend themselves to stir-fry.  I also knew that I had shrimp to add, so I was excited to try it out.  When I got home, I looked up different recipes for sauces and found one which included soy sauce, sherry, and Asian spices.
I know that tofu takes on the flavor of whatever it is cooked with, so I marinated the noodles in my sauce, which also included garlic chili paste for some heat.  I sauteed the veggies, set them aside, sauteed the shrimp, and then added the noodles, sauce, and veggies to the mix.  It turned out great! My husband is not a big fan of Asian dishes and I thought he might turn his nose up to this one, but he loved it.  I have been making different renditions of the dish all week long, including a soup.  I hope this inspires someone else to get out of their comfort zone and try something new. An added bonus was that it really didn't take that long to prepare.  You can chop up the veggies ahead of time and then the actual cooking time is within 10 minutes.
