Stir-Fried Asparagus, Tri-Color Peppers and Tofu-Skin Rolls

Why people make this dish

Nourilo loves cooking with asparagus, especially around Lunar New Year when it is in season. It is prized for being rich in protein and folate, and is traditionally valued for its antioxidant qualities. This bright, fresh plate pairs it with sweet peppers and tofu-skin rolls for a light everyday meal that is easy on the body.

Method

1. Peel the tough skin from the asparagus and cut into segments. Wash and chunk the peppers; cut the tofu-skin rolls into pieces.
2. Heat oil and fry the minced ginger until fragrant.
3. Add the asparagus, peppers and tofu-skin rolls; stir-fry until fragrant.
4. Splash in a little wine, add a splash of water and seasoning, and cook briefly.
5. Scatter in the spring onion, toss a few times, and serve.

Nourilo’s Tips

Asparagus is easy to cook and takes well to creative flavor variations — it works for both vegetarian and meat-based dishes. If you cannot find thick spears, slimmer asparagus works just as well.
