PROS

It is packed with protein and vegetables, making it a healthy choice for a main dish.

CONS

As with many Indonesian dishes, Chicken Tongseng Ala Yodamom has a high sodium count due to the soy sauce, salt, and candlenuts in the recipe.

In addition, the thick coconut milk makes it a high-calorie dish that should be enjoyed in moderation.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

This dish is a great source of protein from the chicken meat, as well as vitamins and minerals from the vegetables.
Cabbage in particular is high in vitamin C and fiber, while tomatoes are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that has been linked to reducing the risk of certain types of cancer.
Candlenuts are also a good source of healthy fats that can help reduce cholesterol levels.
