Soy noodle (豆签), despite its name, is not noodle made of entirely soy. Soy only made a small portion of the
ingredients. A brief survey of a
locally-made soy noodle is made of mainly wheat flour (78%), some amount of tapioca
flour and soy (10% each), and of course
water (10%) and salt (2%).
I only
wander if the soy is of powder form or of liquid extract ( out of curiosity ). Whether the soy is GMO or conventional remain
undisclosed.
It is often
marketed as a health food, healthier than all other type of noodles (which are
made of wheat flour). Yet, considering
the main ingredient is wheat flour, and the blurry source of soy, it is not very appropriate to label it as healthier, safer or lesser calories than other
noodles.
