Nutritional values

Together with the other ingredients, pork provides the daily required amount of nerve-strengthening vitamin B1 almost completely and vitamin B12 at least 80% - perfect after a hard day at school!

If you take 300 grams of turkey escalope instead of cutlet, there is more protein and less fat for the same calorie content. You can replace the mung bean sprouts with a finely sliced small fennel bulb.
