"A meat-free variation adapted from HungryGirl.com’s Chicky Pad Thai. (Contains fish and can be made without nuts.) The cook time listed is a guess. It's been a while since I made this. When I do it again, I'll time it."

ingredients

2 (8 ounce) packages tofu shirataki fettuccine
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon sugar-free apricot preserves
2 teaspoons dry roasted peanuts, crushed
2 teaspoons brown sugar (not packed)
1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
¹⁄₄ teaspoon garlic, chopped
¹⁄₄ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
¹⁄₂ cup fat-free liquid egg substitute
6 ounces tuna in water (not oil)
1 dash each salt and black pepper
2 cups broccoli, chopped
1 ¹⁄₂ cups bean sprouts
³⁄₄ cup Anjou pear, 1-inch scallion pieces

directions

Use a strainer to drain and rinse shirataki noodles well. Pat dry. In a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave for 1 minute. Drain excess liquid. Dry as thoroughly as possible, using paper towels. Cut noodles up a bit and set aside.
To make the sauce, in a small bowl, combine ketchup, lime juice, preserves, peanuts, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Stir thoroughly and set aside.
Spray a wok or large skillet with nonstick spray and bring to medium-high heat on the stove. Add egg substitute and scramble until fully cooked, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Remove wok/skillet from heat (if needed, clean it once cooled), re-spray, and return to medium-high heat. Add tuna and season with salt and black pepper. Add broccoli, bean sprouts, scallion pieces, and 2 tablespoons water. Stirring occasionally, cook broccoli is tender, about 4 minutes.
