Nutritional values

Since cucumber consists of about 97 percent water, it helps to achieve the daily target of liquid in a very simple way. Pak choi, unlike most of its cabbage relatives, is easy to digest and therefore suitable for sensitive stomachs.

If you like, you can also replace the peanuts with cashews. These contain lots of tryptophan, which is needed for the production of the "happiness hormone" serotonin.
