   Cooking Tips

  • Experiment with different types of leafy greens and mushrooms. Other vegetables also work well in this dish.
  • Try making individual, smaller sized noodle cakes. These make a great snack for children!

Nutrition Advice

  • Like broccoli and kale, cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable that is high in vitamin C and K. To avoid losing too much vitamin C and other water-soluble vitamins during cooking, steam, stir-fry or microwave.
  • Carrot is a rich source of vitamin A, in the form of beta-carotene, which is good for skin and eye health. Its high dose of antioxidants help to reduce cancer and cardiovascular disease risks.
