Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon diced green chilis (Ortega brand recommended)
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
10 asparagus spears
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1/3 cup vegetarian oyster sauce
1/4 teaspoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • The day prior to making this dish, drain and rinse 1 tbsp diced green chilies. Add to a bowl the drained chilies, soy sauce, chili-garlic sauce and rice vinegar. Refrigerate overnight.
  • When ready to make the dish, add the content of the bowl to a food processor and pulse once or twice. Set aside.
  • Slice the onion and trim and cut the asparagus spears into thirds. Grate the ginger and chop the garlic.
  • Heat a dry wok or heavy frying pan on medium-high heat. It will be hot enough when water evaporates almost immediately after hitting the pan.
  • Pour in the oil making sure to rotate the wok or pan to get all sides coated evenly as you pour.
  • Toss in the ginger and garlic and stir-fry for one minute. Add the asparagus, onion and pureed green chili paste and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the oyster sauce and cornstarch, continuing to fry for about another minute so the cornstarch thickens the sauce.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh asparagus: Fresh asparagus is essential for this recipe. Look for asparagus that is firm, green, and has tightly closed tips.
  • Blanch the asparagus before stir-frying: Blanching the asparagus helps to tenderize it and preserve its color. Be sure to shock the asparagus in ice water immediately after blanching to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet is essential for stir-frying. This will help to sear the asparagus and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Stir-fry the asparagus in small batches: Stir-frying the asparagus in small batches will help to prevent it from overcrowding the pan and becoming soggy.
  • Use a good quality soy sauce: A good quality soy sauce will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Look for a soy sauce that is dark and has a rich flavor.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Add the sauce at the end of the cooking process to prevent it from burning.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fried asparagus is best served immediately, while it is still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

This recipe for P.F. Chang's Sichuan-Style Asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is spicy and tangy. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this recipe at home.
