Stir-Fried Shiitake, Water Chestnut and Asparagus

Why people make this dish

Some readers asked Nourilo for simple vegetable dishes, and this is exactly the kind he cooks at home: plain ingredients, no fuss, and no processed mock-meats (which are usually loaded with MSG and additives). This shiitake, water chestnut and asparagus stir-fry is traditionally used to clear heat, ease phlegm and “resolve stagnation,” and it suits people watching their blood pressure, blood lipids and cholesterol.
