Asparagus Stir-Fry

Asparagus Stir-Fry recipe is another one simple yet bright and flavorful way to enjoy the vegetable. And it is ready in under 10 minutes! You just stir-fry the sliced asparagus with chili pepper, garlic, soy sauce, butter, and a pinch of salt. Then finish it off with orange juice and zest, toasted sesame seeds, and cilantro leaves. Perfect!

Usually, I cook asparagus the day it is purchased. If that is not the case, I use the following method to store the beautiful spears fresh and perky. I wash the asparagus and trim the ends. Then place the spears upright in a glass jar filled with about 1 inch of water. Cover loosely with a plastic bag and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

To make the Asparagus Stir-Fry, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Asparagus Stir-Fry

1	Heat skillet	3
Over medium-high heat, heat a large skillet until hot for about 3 minutes.
2	Cook chili and garlic	1m 30s
Add 1 sliced chili, 2 sliced cloves garlic, and 1 tablespoon olive oil and cook, stirring constantly, for 60 to 90 seconds until the garlic just starts to turn golden.
3	Add asparagus	2
Add 1 pound sliced asparagus and season lightly with salt. Cook, tossing occasionally, for 2 minutes.
4	Add soy sauce, butter, and water	30s
Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1 tablespoon water. Cook, stirring constantly, until the asparagus is well coated with sauce for about 30 seconds.
5	Add orange zest and juice	1
Remove the skillet from heat and add in 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest and juice from ½ an orange and toss to combine.
6	Serve
Arrange the asparagus mixture on a platter, then top with toasted sesame seeds and cilantro leaves. Add more orange juice if you wish and enjoy!
