Recipe: Healthy Asian noodle dish
MANILA, Philippines — All Asian countries have their own distinct noodle dishes, and it is not just one but quite a number of variants per country.
Some are dry noodles with just a little bit of sauce, often stir-fried; others are noodle soups, a comfort dish. Noodle dishes are usually healthy because they are a good balance of carbohydrates (noodles), protein (meat, poultry, or seafood), and vegetables.
So, when Chef Rosebud Benitez Velasco planned her menu for her Healthy Cooking with Tefal Cookware demo held at the SM Makati Concourse, she included Asian Noodles, which she cooked using Tefal Titanium Expertise.
