I am so happy to be working with House Foods on this sponsored post since I often use their products and have trusted the brand for years! You’ve seen how many tofu recipes I have on my blog and 99% of the time, House Foods is the brand I cook with.
For this specific post, I was asked to create a recipe using tofu shirataki noodles to celebrate National Soyfoods month (April). It’s a way to encourage people to incorporate more soy based products into their diets and discover how easy it is to cook with.
What I also like about House Foods is their whole line of Tofu products is made from 100% U.S. grown non-GMO soybeans, Gluten Free certified and Kosher too. We like!
For this recipe I wanted to show the versatility of soybean based products so I decided to make something most of us love and crave on a regular basis: pad thai!
I’m using House Foods tofu shirataki noodles (fettuccini type) because they are the closest to flat rice noodles. I also wanted to keep this dish low in sodium so I substituted the saltiness for acidity and added sri racha sauce for a little extra heat. The result is pretty close to the real thing!
You can also add chicken or tofu to this tofu shirataki noodles pad Thai recipe if you want it to be more filling. The noodles soften when they are cooked and take on a very similar texture to rice noodles.
The only difference is they do not absorb flavor as well as starchy noodles so I recommend letting your pad Thai sit for a couple of minutes before eating it.
This helps the flavors settle on to the tofu shirataki noodles.
There is so much you can do with House Foods tofu shirataki noodles and with summer arriving really soon, they make amazing cold noodle dishes! You can eat tofu shirataki noodles dipped in cold ponzu sauce (like my chilled ponzu noodles with avocado and peppers) or served as a substitute to pasta or udon noodles. I’m telling you, the options are endless with tofu shirataki noodles!
