This is a quick and simple stir fry prepared with asparagus. This is the first time, I am cooking asparagus and I loved it very much. According to Whfood, “Asparagus is an anti-inflammatory food because it provides a truly unique combination of anti-inflammatory nutrients. It also provides a wide variety of antioxidant nutrients, including vitamin C, beta-carotene, vitamin E, and the minerals zinc, manganese, and selenium. It is very high on the list of antioxidant foods. Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant nutrients are some of the best risk reducers we know for common chronic health problems including type 2 diabetes and heart disease. These nutrients are also special risk reducers in the case of certain cancer”. I made this stir fry and paired it with vathal kuzhambu. It was awesome!! Today we will learn how to make simple asparagus stir fry following this easy recipe.
