I call them rubber noodles

They aren't really rubber though.  They are a wheat free, low cal noodle made from konjac (which is a type of tropical potato) by a company called SlendierSlim.  These are allowed on the changing habits protocol, although only the 8cal or less.  They are available from coles, woolworths and I have found them at the Vitamin Shop in Hobart too.  The latter have the lasagne style noodle too.
They are very Asian in style and boost a meal if you are peckish or want to feel like you are eating like a normal person.
Today's lunch was noodles with some veg and chicken . My kids were wanting to steal from me so it must have been good!

Ingredients:
1/2 pack of slendier fettucine
3 spring onions cut fine
1c cauliflower
1c kale
100gr chicken chopped small
1/2c tomato puree
1/2tsp oregano
1/2tsp paprika
S&P to taste.

Method:
Chop veg small and either steam until soft or precook in pan if you want a one pan meal.  Saute onion and add chicken and spices, stir fry until cooked through and mix in veg and tomato puree.  I like to let it to simmer for about 10min to reduce and boost flavours.  Throw in your well rinsed noodles and cook for a further 5 min.  Enjoy!
