Note: This recipe originally called for chicken broth. Since I’m posting it on a Meatless Monday, I’ve changed that to veggie broth.
Ingredients
2 cans (14 ounces each) reduced-sodium veggie broth, divided
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 pound firm tofu, cut into small chunks
1/4 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup fresh bean sprouts
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Directions
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup chicken broth and the cornstarch; mix well and set aside.
In a soup pot, combine the remaining chicken broth, the tofu, mushrooms, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and pepper; mix well and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low; stir in the cornstarch mixture until thickened.
Slowy stir in the beaten egg to form egg strands.
Add the bean sprouts and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Add the sesame oil; mix well and serve.

Cook Time: 50 minutes; Serves: 7
To view this online, go to https://www.everydaydiabeticrecipes.com/Pastas/Restaurant-Style-Spinach-Manicotti.
Ingredients
1 (8-ounce) package manicotti shells (14 shells)
1 small onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 pound fresh mushrooms, diced
1 (32-ounce) container fat-free ricotta cheese
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 egg
1 (10-ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1-1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups light spaghetti sauce
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Cook the manicotti shells according to the package directions, omitting the salt; drain, rinse, drain again, and place in a large baking dish. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Coat a small saucepan with nonstick cooking spray. Add the onion and garlic and saute over medium heat until tender. Add the mushrooms and saute until brown.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the ricotta and mozzarella cheeses, the egg, spinach, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Add the onion mixture; mix well.
Spoon the mixture into the manicotti shells (see Note), top with the spaghetti sauce, and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until heated through.
Note
To fill the shells, carefully place the cheese mixture in a large resealable plastic storage bag with a corner snipped off. Then you can just squeeze the filling into the manicotti shells, using the storage bag like a pastry bag. Simple, right?
