Stir-Fried Asparagus with Beef

Why people make this dish

Asparagus — sometimes called “dragon-beard vegetable” — is mild and cooling in the food-therapy view, and is traditionally associated with clearing heat and easing urination. It is rich in carotene and folate, which is why it’s a well-loved food for expectant mothers, with folate being important for a baby’s brain development. Nourilo shares this quick, fragrant stir-fry of asparagus and tender beef as a fresh, tasty home dish that’s especially welcome in the early weeks of pregnancy.
