Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Wash and trim the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch pieces.
Gently clean the mushrooms using a damp paper towel and slice them into thick pieces.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the asparagus to the skillet and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, or until it begins to turn bright green.
Add the sliced mushrooms and continue to stir-fry for another 3–4 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their moisture and are tender.
Sprinkle the salt and ground black pepper over the vegetables, then pour the sauce mixture into the skillet.
Toss the vegetables in the sauce until evenly coated and heated through, about 1–2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fried asparagus and mushrooms to a serving plate.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
