Nutritional values

The meat and vegetables in this recipe are only fried for a short time, so the heat-sensitive vitamins are well preserved. This wonderfully aromatic dish can lower an elevated cholesterol level, have a positive effect on blood fats, and can promote blood formation.

If you would like a side dish with your Stir-Fry, serve it with rice, preferably whole grain. The additional complex carbohydrates will keep you full for a long time. Adding green coriander on top is a great finishing touch.
