Nutritional values

Tofu provides protein and calcium, the noodles bring satiating carbohydrates and the vegetables score with vitamins and minerals. By the way: Cashew nuts are also rich in protein and also provide us with valuable unsaturated fatty acids.

More being than appearance: During cooking, Chinese noodles grow out - they grow up to twice or even three times as long as when dried and then look deceptively similar to spaghetti. Those who prefer short noodles simply break them into smaller pieces before cooking.
