WEEKLY WEIGH-IN

Pasta rules; excess carby calories don't. Dig into these light-done-right noodle recipes now, and thank us later...


Zucchini So Low Mein with Chicken
1/2 of recipe (about 2 1/4 cups): 277 calories, 6.5g fat, 633mg sodium, 24g carbs, 5.5g fiber, 15.5g sugars, 34g protein -- PointsPlus® value 7*

We're all over the spiralized zucchini noodle (a.k.a. zoodle) trend. And now we're applying it to the calorie disaster that is lo mein!

Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
2 tbsp. reduced-sodium/lite soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp. granulated white sugar
1 tsp. sesame oil
1/2 tsp. crushed garlic
1/2 tsp. onion powder
20 oz. (2 - 3 medium) zucchini
8 oz. raw boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 cup frozen Asian-style stir-fry vegetables
1 cup bean sprouts
1 cup quartered mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped scallions

Directions:
To make the sauce, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, oil, crushed garlic, and 1/4 tsp. onion powder. Mix well.

Using a spiral veggie cutter like the Veggetti, cut zucchini into spaghetti-like noodles. (If you don't have a spiralizer, peel zucchini into super-thin strips, rotating the zucchini as you slice it.)

Bring a wok (or large skillet) sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, and sprinkle with garlic powder and remaining 1/4 tsp. onion powder. Add frozen veggies, bean sprouts, and mushrooms. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and veggies are hot and tender.

Add zucchini noodles and scallions. Cook and stir until hot and slightly softened, about 3 minutes.

Transfer wok contents to a strainer, and thoroughly drain excess liquid.

Return wok to medium-high heat, and return drained mixture to the wok. Add sauce, and cook and stir until sauce is evenly distributed and mostly absorbed, about 2 minutes.
