- 2 units shallots
- 2 tablespoons chili oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
Wash the asparagus thoroughly and trim off the woody ends. Cut the asparagus into 5 cm (2-inch) pieces.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Peel and thinly slice the shallots.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chili oil.
Add the sliced garlic and shallots to the hot chili oil. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden.
Increase the heat to high and add the asparagus to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and just tender but still crisp.
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the asparagus. Sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper, and toss well to combine.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the asparagus is well coated in the seasoning.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fried asparagus to a serving plate.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the top as a garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
