Why people make this dish
When the weather is hot and sticky, appetite tends to wane — and it is tempting to reach for something salty or pungent just to make food more interesting. But heavily salted food raises blood sodium levels, which can in turn push blood pressure up. Nourilo put this fresh, lightly flavoured vegetable dish together as a practical summer solution: four ingredients that Chinese food therapy has long associated with supporting healthy blood pressure, combined into a simple stir-fry that works well as a side dish for any meal.
