About

Whenever I returned home from college, I’d make my mom drive straight to one of her elegant buffet restaurants so I could dive right into a plate of her Stir-Fried Beef with Asparagus and Wild Mushrooms. Dorm food was a far cry from my mother’s cooking, and this was one of her dishes I missed the most. As soon as I caught a whiff of this succulent beef dish loaded with asparagus and wild mushrooms stir-fried in a rich, yet light gravy, I knew I was finally home.
