What's the question?
Nutritional info is the same as for most pastas, grains and other dry
forms of carbohydrates...
D!

So, the rice sticks are the same possibly as Danielles thin pasta. For
some reason I keep thinking that oriental noodles or foods are leaner
than most others.... no?

| 821.3 | all pasta/noodles are lean (= low fat) | GOLLY::CARROLL | something inside so strong | Mon Aug 30 1993 19:33 | 14 |
Pasta is very low in fat - non-egg pasta of any variety has virtually
no fat. You can't get any "leaner" than no fat.
As to whether oriental food is "leaner" in general - depends on how you
cook it. Stir-fries you make at home *can* be low fat if you use very
little oil...but then, so can any other food as long as you are
careful. Most Chinese food in restaraunts is not only high in fat (ie:
not lean), it's also high in sodium and probably even worse for you
than standard American food from a restaraunt.
Much as I love, say, schezuan chicken with cashews, health-wise I'd
probably be better off with a baked potato and petit filet mignon.
D!
