Essential Ingredients
- 1 pack Pulmuone Tofu Noodles (approx. 200g)
- 200g Store-bought Pasta Sauce (Rose, Tomato, Cream, or your preference)
- 100g Frozen Shrimp
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- Pinch of Black Pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the ingredients for your pasta. Gather your fresh shrimp, flavorful pasta sauce, and the star of today’s dish: Pulmuone tofu noodles.
Step 2
Unlike regular noodles, Pulmuone tofu noodles come packed in water. Drain the water from the package, then place the noodles in a colander and rinse them lightly under running water. This step helps maintain the tofu noodles’ signature soft texture and clean taste.
Step 3
Thaw the frozen shrimp by rinsing them under cold water and pat them dry. To remove any fishy odor, marinate them with 1 tablespoon of cooking wine and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper for about 10 minutes. Marinating will make the shrimp even more tender and flavorful.
Step 4
Now, let’s start making the pasta! Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté gently until fragrant, infusing the oil with its aromatic flavor without burning it. The kitchen will smell wonderful as the garlic starts to turn golden.
Step 5
Once the garlic is fragrant, add the marinated shrimp to the pan and stir-fry them together. It’s important to control the heat to medium-low to prevent the shrimp and garlic from burning. Cook until the shrimp turns pink.
Step 6
When the shrimp are cooked, pour in 200g of your chosen pasta sauce. Stir everything together and let it simmer for a moment, allowing the sauce to heat through and meld with the other ingredients. You’ll know it’s ready when the sauce starts to bubble gently.
Step 7
Once the sauce is bubbling, add the prepared tofu noodles to the pan. Gently toss them with the sauce, ensuring each strand is coated. Since tofu noodles are delicate, avoid overcooking them; just stir until they are well combined with the sauce.
Step 8
Finally, for a visually appealing finish, sprinkle with garlic chips and parsley. This transforms your dish into a delicious and beautiful tofu noodle pasta that’s surprisingly low in calories! Enjoy it while it’s warm.
