GINGER CHICKEN ASPARAGUS STIR FRY
This is a delicious stir-fry recipe and a really quick and easy dinner. Although the original recipe calls for asparagus, I have used fresh green beans (cut into 1-inch pieces) in place of the asparagus. The amounts for this recipe serves really only about 3 people, however all ingredients can easily be doubled to serve more. This is delicious!

BLACK PEPPER STIR-FRIED TOFU AND ASPARAGUS
This fast, one-skillet stir-fry dinner combines vibrant spring vegetables with hearty tofu in a rich and spicy black-pepper sauce. (Use freshly ground pepper, if possible, for the ideal combination of flavor and heat.) The tofu is simmered in the fragrant sauce, which is spiked with aromatic garlic and ginger until it has absorbed all of the flavors and is nicely glazed. This recipe is perfect for using up that pencil-thin asparagus, which cooks quickly and toes the line between crisp and tender, while sweet snap peas balance out the assertive sauce. The dish can be served over baby spinach or in lettuce cups instead of with rice for a satisfying salad.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon black pepper and 2 tablespoons of water. In a large nonstick skillet, combine tofu and half of the black pepper sauce, and season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened and nicely coats the tofu, about 5 minutes. Slide glazed tofu and any sauce out onto a rimmed plate.
- Wipe or rinse out the skillet and heat oil over medium. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add asparagus and snap peas, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add scallions, the remaining black pepper sauce and the tofu, and cook, stirring, until vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce. Stir in cilantro, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide tofu and vegetables among plates and spoon over any remaining pan sauce. Serve with rice.
Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus: Look for fresh, crisp asparagus with tight tips. Avoid asparagus that is wilted or has brown spots.
- Peel the asparagus: If the asparagus is thick, you may need to peel it before cooking. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer layer of the asparagus.
- Cut the asparagus into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch pieces on a diagonal.
- Use a hot wok or skillet: This will help the asparagus cook quickly and evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet: This will cause the asparagus to steam instead of stir-fry.
- Stir-fry the asparagus for a short time: Overcooking will make the asparagus tough.
- Add the sauce at the end of cooking: This will prevent the sauce from burning.
- Serve the asparagus immediately: This is when it is at its best.
Conclusion:
Ginger and white asparagus stir-fry is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a healthy dish that is packed with vitamins and minerals. The asparagus is tender and crisp, the ginger is pungent and flavorful, and the white asparagus adds a touch of sweetness. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
