Fresh Chinese leaves are sliced and tossed in a sweetened spicy Lee Kum Kee Chilli Garlic Sauce, dressed with umami Lee Kum Kee Premium Light Soy Sauce, with nutty water chestnuts, crispy golden fried tofu, spring onions and cashew nuts. Perfect served with jasmine rice.
Lee Kum Kee Chilli Garlic Sauce delivers a spicy garlic kick to the tofu and the Chinese leaf, imparting a slight red hue to the colour and Lee Kum Kee Premium Light Soy Sauce gives a salty fresh pop.
Chinese leaf is very low in calories, is a good source of folic acid, vitamin B and high in vitamin C. It helps to protect the body from cancer and helps lower bad cholesterol levels. It is also an amazing source of vitamin K – which is important for bone health, wound healing and regulates blood calcium levels.
