In 20 minutes you can pull together this slightly exotic side that will impress your guests and beautifully supplement a high protein dinner with much needed greens. Serve crisp-tender for a beautiful crunch.

Yes. Sometimes cheese is allowed. The fat-free and lowfat varieties are 'sometimes' foods. Which means we don't have them every day. But life is short, so we do have them.

Shiitake mushrooms give this stir-fry a lovely earthy flavor, but any mushrooms will deliver. If you love light tofu and vegetables sometimes to break up the meat monotony, you'll love this dish. The shirataki noodles help to fill you up, but you can rest assured that your full fiber belly will deflate quickly. This turned out to be one of our most satisfying recipes. Enjoy!
