Nutritional values

The strongly spiced Asian dish scores particularly well with minerals and trace elements. Potassium, magnesium, iron and zinc are particularly well represented. Zinc, for example, promotes wound healing and helps damaged skin cells to regenerate.

With a raw vegetable salad as a side dish, you not only bring vitamins to the table, but also fibre. A mix of grated carrot, radish and cucumber, dressed with rice or apple vinegar and soya oil (season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar) is particularly suitable.
