"Playwrights are like men who have been dining for a month in an Indian restaurant. After eating curry night after night, they deny the existence of asparagus."
Peter Ustinov

Asian recipes have draw on thousands of years of experience to produce a rich variety of spicy and healthy recipes.

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Preparation

Peel and chop garlic. Seed jalapenos and remove membrane. Slice. Cut
green pepper into thin slices. Beef should be thinly slice across the
grain.

Heat wok and add the oil and garlic. Chow for a very brief moment.
Then add the peppers, chow for a few minutes. Next add meat. Chow
again for just a couple of minutes so that the meat sears to medium
rare.

Quickly add the remaining ingredients and toss for a moment.

Serve with thin noodles or rice. 2 generous serving.
