Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 pieces scallions
Instructions
Wash the asparagus and trim the woody ends. Cut the spears into 2-inch pieces.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves and fresh ginger. Thinly slice the scallions; separate the white and green parts.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic, minced ginger, and the white parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the asparagus to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until it turns bright green and crisp-tender.
Pour the sauce over the asparagus and toss to coat evenly. Stir-fry for another minute to allow the sauce to heat through.
Remove from heat and garnish with the green parts of the scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately as a side dish or over steamed rice for a light main course.
