1/3 cup orange juice
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes, or more to taste
1 1/2 pounds asparagus

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.

STIR-FRIED SPICY ASPARAGUS



Stir-Fried Spicy Asparagus image

Holding out for regional produce may seem absurdly romantic, or a little stubborn, but there's no denying the thrill when, after months of apples, potatoes and sturdy greens, suddenly asparagus appears in full force at the market. Finally, spring has arrived.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds pencil-thin asparagus (or substitute small or medium asparagus, split lengthwise)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 serrano or other fresh hot chile, finely chopped
A large handful of basil, mint and cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Snap off and discard the tough bottoms of each asparagus spear. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch lengths
  • In a wok or cast-iron skillet, heat the oil until nearly smoking. Add the asparagus, season generously with salt and pepper and stir well, making sure the asparagus is coated and glistening with oil. Continue to stir-fry over high heat for about 1 minute, until the asparagus looks bright green and barely cooked. Add the garlic, ginger and chile and stir-fry for 30 seconds more.
  • Transfer to a serving platter and scatter leaves on top. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, limp, or have brown or yellow spots.
  • Trim the asparagus: Cut off the tough, woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by snapping them off or cutting them with a knife.
  • Blanch the asparagus: Blanching the asparagus helps to preserve its color and crispness. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Sliver the almonds: You can sliver almonds using a food processor or a sharp knife. If you are using a food processor, simply pulse the almonds until they are finely chopped. If you are using a knife, thinly slice the almonds lengthwise.
  • Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. To toast the almonds, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and cook, stirring constantly, until they are golden brown. Be careful not to burn the almonds.
  • Make the sauce: The sauce for this dish is made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey. Simply whisk all of the ingredients together in a bowl until the sauce is well combined.
  • Stir-fry the asparagus: Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the asparagus and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is heated through. Add the sauce and stir-fry for an additional minute, or until the asparagus is evenly coated.
  • Garnish with almonds: Garnish the stir-fried asparagus with the toasted almonds and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried asparagus with slivered almonds is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a healthy and delicious way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The asparagus is crisp and tender, the almonds are nutty and fragrant, and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
