Bean Sprout Stir-Fried Eel Strips

Why people make this dish

Yellow eel is a genuinely building-up food — warming in nature, traditionally said to make up for deficiency, strengthen the sinews and bones, and dispel wind-damp. Its flesh is fine and tender, full of flavour, with few bones — perfect for eel paste, braised eel, or shredded stir-fried eel. For folks who often feel tired and weak, palpitating, short of breath, dizzy, anaemic, or with aching weak limbs and a sore back from kidney deficiency, Nourilo suggests eel as a everyday food therapy. This bean sprout stir-fried eel is a tasty, nutritious home dish suitable for the whole family, with a body-strengthening benefit.
