From 7 of 10 ingredient lines (100% of the measured weight), divided into 2 servings (estimated: average of rules (1: 100 g protein foods at ~170 g per serving) and model check (2)). Typical amounts assumed for garlic chives, chicken breast, dried shrimp, firm tofu, bean shoots, because the video doesn’t say how much. Not counted because the video gives no amount: chilli powder, spring onion. Not matched to nutrient data: rice stick noodles, Pad Thai sauce, peanuts.
