Healthy Chinese Ingredients — Eat Well with Chinese Cuisine in Martigny

Contrary to clichés about Westernized Chinese food — greasy fried dishes and sugary sauces — traditional Chinese cuisine is one of the most balanced in the world. Rich in vegetables, legumes, spices, and quick cooking methods, it favors freshness and lightness. At Rêve Saveur in Martigny, we cook with healthy ingredients, additive-free fresh noodles, and seasonal vegetables.

• Tofu: rich in complete plant protein, low in saturated fats, source of calcium and iron. The base of our Mapo Tofu and Donburi.
• Ginger: natural anti-inflammatory, aids digestion and strengthens the immune system. Present in all our house-made sauces.
• Black sesame: rich in calcium (more than milk!), iron, and antioxidants. The star of our signature pastry and sauces.
• Green tea: loaded with antioxidant polyphenols, the perfect companion to a balanced meal. Try our Matcha Latte or Jasmine Tea.

The Benefits of Wok Cooking

Wok cooking, emblematic of Chinese cuisine, is one of the healthiest cooking methods:

• Quick high-heat cooking: vegetables retain their crunch and vitamins.
• Very little fat: a thin layer of oil is enough thanks to the wok's surface.
• Nutrient preservation: unlike slow cooking, wok cooking preserves vitamins and minerals.
