STIR-FRIED ASPARAGUS WITH BACON AND CRISPY SHALLOTS
Steps:
- Combine both vinegars in a medium bowl. Add shallots and let sit, tossing occasionally, 1 hour. Drain and pat dry.
- Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until most of fat is rendered and bacon begins to brown, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to paper towels. Pour off fat; reserve for another use (scrambled eggs!). Wipe out skillet; reserve.
- Fit a medium pot with thermometer and pour in oil to come 2" up sides of pot. Heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 300°F. Whisk flour and cornmeal in a shallow bowl. Dredge shallots in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Fry, tossing occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels; season with salt.
- Heat reserved skillet over medium-high. Swirl remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in pan to coat (this keeps food from sticking); pour out excess. The oil should be shimmering-if it's not hot enough, the asparagus will steam not caramelize. Add asparagus, season with salt, and cook, tossing, until almost cooked through, about 1 minute. Add bacon and 1 Tbsp. water; cook, tossing, until asparagus is cooked through, about 30 seconds. Add soy sauce; toss to coat. Serve topped with shallots.

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:
- Add the shallots and oil to a large saucepan. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the oil bubbles intensely, about 7 minutes; turn heat to medium-low to maintain a spirited simmer. 6 minutes later, add the garlic. Cook, stirring often, and more frequently as it darkens, until the shallots turn from sticky to fluffy and medium golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes later.
- Strain, keeping the oil, and drain the shallots and garlic in one layer on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Season with salt, and let cool until crisp. Fried chips will hold in an airtight container for 3 days, or for 2 months in the refrigerator. The oil, which is great for dressings or drizzling, holds for 2 months in the refrigerator.

PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY GARLIC
Before asparagus got moved to its own botanical family, Asparagaceae, in the early 2000s, it was part of the lily family along with onions, chives, shallots and garlic. It makes sense then, that asparagus and garlic make such a good duo. When cooked with care, both can be mild and sweet (or pungent and bitter when cooked carelessly). To highlight the best of both ingredients, gently fry garlic into chips for a crispy topping, then use the lightly infused oil to sauté the asparagus. Both thin and chubby spears work, as would nearly any other vegetable you like with garlic: broccoli, kale, snap peas, fennel and more.

Steps:
- Place a paper towel-lined plate next to the stove. In a medium or large skillet, combine the garlic and olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook, shaking the skillet often, until the garlic is very light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, tilt it, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to the towel-lined plate, leaving the remaining oil in the skillet. Season the crispy garlic with salt.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and cook, shaking often, until bright green, crisp-tender and browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide onto a platter, including any oil in the skillet. Top with the garlic chips and season again with salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tight, closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have woody ends.
- Prepare the asparagus properly: Trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears and cut them into 2-inch pieces. If the spears are thick, you can also slice them lengthwise.
- Use a hot pan: A hot pan will help to sear the asparagus and prevent it from becoming soggy. Make sure to preheat your pan over medium-high heat before adding the asparagus.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the asparagus will not cook evenly. Cook the asparagus in batches if necessary.
- Stir-fry the asparagus until it is tender: Stir-fry the asparagus for 3-4 minutes, or until it is tender but still slightly crisp. Do not overcook the asparagus, or it will become mushy.
- Add the garlic and shallots: Once the asparagus is tender, add the garlic and shallots to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic and shallots are fragrant.
- Add the chili oil: Stir in the chili oil and cook for 1 minute more. The chili oil will add a spicy kick to the asparagus.
- Season to taste: Season the asparagus with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately: Serve the asparagus hot with rice or noodles.
Conclusion:
Stir-fried asparagus with garlic and shallots in chili oil is a quick and easy side dish that is packed with flavor. The asparagus is tender and crisp, the garlic and shallots are fragrant, and the chili oil adds a spicy kick. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
