STIR-FRIED ASPARAGUS WITH BACON AND CRISPY SHALLOTS



Stir-Fried Asparagus With Bacon and Crispy Shallots image

Quickly sauté spring asparagus and top with bacon, crispy fried pickled shallots, and Chinese white soy sauce.

Provided by Jonathan Wu

Categories     Bon Appétit     Asparagus     Vinegar     New York     Shallot     Soy Sauce     Cornmeal     Bacon

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup black vinegar
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
2 small shallots, thinly sliced into rings
4 ounces slab bacon, cut into 1x1/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for frying (about 3 cups)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup fine-grind cornmeal
Kosher salt
1 pound asparagus, trimmed, thinly sliced on a diagonal
1 tablespoon white soy sauce
Special Equipment
A deep-fry thermometer

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



Black Pepper Stir-Fried Tofu and Asparagus image

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.

Provided by Kay Chun

Categories     dinner, quick, weekday, one pot, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons turbinado or light brown sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce or a vegan alternative
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 pound firm tofu, cut into ½-inch cubes
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as safflower or canola

4 ounces snap peas, thinly sliced on the diagonal
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
Steamed short-grain brown or white rice, for serving

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.

CRISPY SHALLOTS AND GARLIC



Crispy Shallots and Garlic image

This gently-fried topping takes a little patience, but leaves you with sweet, aromatic, crunchy bits that will elevate salads, sandwiches, pasta or noodles. And the oil you fry it in also takes on terrific flavor - also great for drizzling on most anything you can think of.

Provided by Francis Lam

Categories     vegetables

Time 1h

Yield 1 1/2 cups fried shallots, plus 2 cups infused oil

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 medium shallots (1/2 pound), sliced 1/8-inch thick on a mandoline
2 cups vegetable oil
12 cloves garlic, sliced like the shallots
Salt

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



Pan-Seared Asparagus With Crispy Garlic image

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.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), ends snapped or trimmed

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.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 112.9, Fat 8.9, SaturatedFat 5.6, Cholesterol 23, Sodium 282.6, Carbohydrate 6.8, Fiber 3.6, Sugar 3.3, Protein 4.1

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.
