Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb. sirloin steak
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. soy sauce, divided

1 bunch asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1" pieces
8 oz. sugar snap peas, trimmed, strings removed

1/4 cup oyster sauce
3 Tbsp. mirin (Japanese rice wine)
2 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
Kosher salt

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest asparagus possible. Look for spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips.
  • Trim the asparagus before cooking. Snap off the tough ends of the spears, about 1 inch from the bottom.
  • Blanch the asparagus before stir-frying. This will help to retain the asparagus's bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Use a large skillet or wok for stir-frying. This will allow the asparagus to cook evenly.
  • Heat the oil over high heat before adding the asparagus. This will help to prevent the asparagus from sticking to the pan.
  • Stir-fry the asparagus quickly, tossing it constantly. This will help to prevent the asparagus from becoming overcooked.
  • Add the water chestnuts and other vegetables towards the end of the cooking time. This will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Serve the stir-fried asparagus immediately. This will help to ensure that it is at its best flavor and texture.
