Stir-Fry Top Shell with Broccoli and Carrot ~ 西兰花 红萝卜炒鲍贝

 

Top-shells, charcterized by a spiral conical shell are marine snails of the Trochidae family.  They are rich in vitamin A and protein but contain minimum fat and carbohydrates and help in a healthy flow of the bloodstream.  If the canned Top-shells are big, you can slice them up but the ones that I am using in this recipe are relatively small, hence I just used them whole.
