Here is a great summer meal which is fast to prepare and very nutritious. I especially like the fact that this dinner dish contains one of my favourite summer vegetables: asparagus. It has an amazing flavour and I much prefer the white variety.
This dish is high in lean protein, fibrous carbohydrates, and also contains medicinal garlic, chili, and ginger compounds. As we all know, raw garlic is great to lower cholesterol, blood pressure, and improve the immune response. Ginger is great for the digestion and adds a great deal of flavor to the food. Asparagus is a very good source of vitamins A and K, folate, and the minerals calcium, magnesium, and selenium.
