Originating primarily from Chinese and Malaysian cuisines, it typically features thin rice vermicelli stir-fried with a variety of vegetables, tofu, mushrooms, and plant-based sauces. This meal is high in carbohydrates from the rice noodles, with added fiber, vitamins, and minerals from the accompanying vegetables.
