SPICY ASPARAGUS STIR FRY (INDO-CHINESE FUSION RECIPE)
This is a twist on the Chinese way of preparing stir fry using a super healthy food (asparagus) as the star of the dish. Asparagus is very easy to cut and cooks fast and hence fits in on any busy weekday. I love this dish because it combines a super food (asparagus) in a spicy, tasty side dish recipe. Serve Spicy Asparagus Stir Fry (Indo-Chinese Fusion Recipe) with Vegetable Fried Brown Rice Recipe, Tofu Fried Rice Recipe or as a part of Naked Burrito Bowl Recipe. Did you know : 1 cup of asparagus gives 2/3 RDV (recommended daily value) of folate (iron). Asparagus is very high in anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits while being rich in antioxidants (cancer prevention) and natural fiber. This food promotes heart health and helps regulate blood sugar.

Steps:
- To prepare Spicy Asparagus Stir Fry (Indo-Chinese Fusion Recipe) heat a large wok, take about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil (or cooking oil) and sauté the ginger garlic paste until the raw smell goes away.
- Now add and onions until slightly soft. Don't soften it too much as we want the onions to retain some of their crunchiness.
- Now add the asparagus pieces, some salt and cover the wok with a lid to cook them for about 5-7 minutes. This is where you want to be careful. Asparagus gets cooked very easily and you want the resulting dish to yet have a bright green colour rather than having a dull colour.
- Once cooked, add the soy sauce and chili garlic and let the whole thing cook for about 2 minutes.
- Do a taste test to make sure salt and spice is up to your taste. If you think it's too spicy you can add a little brown sugar to sweeten the dish.
- Finally, garnish and serve with chopped spring onions.
- You can serve Spicy Asparagus Stir Fry (Indo-Chinese Fusion Recipe) with Vegetable Fried Brown Rice Recipe, Tofu Fried Rice Recipe or as a part of Naked Burrito Bowl Recipe.

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.

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.

Steps:
- Cut asparagus into thirds. In a nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over high heat.
- Add asparagus to oil with salt and a pinch of pepper. Cook, stirring, until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients in advance: Cut the asparagus, mince the garlic and ginger, and prep the Sichuan sauce before you start cooking. This will make the stir-frying process quicker and easier.
- Use a hot pan: A hot pan will help to sear the asparagus and give it a slightly charred flavor. Make sure your pan is well-heated before adding the asparagus.
- Stir-fry in batches: If you're cooking a lot of asparagus, stir-fry it in batches so that the asparagus has enough room to cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked asparagus will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Serve immediately: Sichuan asparagus is best served immediately after cooking. The asparagus will start to lose its flavor if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
This stir-fried asparagus with Sichuan sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the Sichuan sauce adds a nice spicy kick. If you're looking for a new way to enjoy asparagus, this recipe is definitely worth trying.
