Substituting Tofu for Noodles Does Reduce The Number of Carbs

Good news, indeed! And substituting tofu for noodles does reduce the number of carbs. Good choice! But a caution... Rely on your own knowledge of what is "kidney-wise" and "diabetic-wise" to decide whether what they are serving is truly a wise choice for you. Others may have good intentions but their understanding may be skewed. How wonderful that you have found such flexible restauranteurs!

Today, I went in for my pho and had a bowl of spicy soup, but with fewer noodles and more bean sprouts. I also told the owners, whom I also consider to be friends, that I'm diabetic and would probably be coming in less often because I couldn't rationalize the carbs. But they are good businessfolk as well as friends and told me that they would be happy to make kidney-wise )(a phrase I invented today)dishes for me. For instance, they could substitute tofu for noodles and that they serve two or three filling salads, and that beyond that Nikko might be able to come up with thingswe hadn't even contemplated yet. So my little lunch ritual stays intact with some adjustments from my good friends at the Broadway Cafe.
