STIR- FRIED SESAME ASPARAGUS



Stir- Fried Sesame Asparagus image

Quick, easy, and delicious! I love asparagus and usually just roast it with olive oil and kosher salt. However, I cook it so often in the spring that my family starts to tire of eating it the same way, so I must look for other ways to prepare it. We really enjoyed it cooked this way.

ASPARAGUS AND SHIITAKE STIR-FRY



Asparagus and Shiitake Stir-Fry image

This earthy, satisfying stir-fry of shiitake mushrooms, asparagus, and toasted sesame seeds can serve as a colorful side dish or a light lunch.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Quick & Easy Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1 bunch medium or thick asparagus, tough ends trimmed, stalks sliced into 1 1/2-inch lengths
8 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, trimmed and sliced into 1/2-inch-thick pieces
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and mushrooms, and saute just until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Asparagus: Select asparagus that are firm, bright green, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid any spears that are limp, wilted, or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Prepare Asparagus Properly: Wash the asparagus thoroughly and trim the woody ends. You can also peel the asparagus if desired, but this is not necessary.
  • Use High-Quality Oil: Use a high-quality oil with a neutral flavor, such as grapeseed oil, avocado oil, or olive oil. This will help to prevent the asparagus from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook Asparagus Quickly: Asparagus cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked asparagus will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use Fresh Ginger and Garlic: Fresh ginger and garlic add a lot of flavor to this dish. Be sure to use fresh ingredients for the best results.
  • Serve Immediately: Stir-fried sesame asparagus is best served immediately. The asparagus will start to lose its flavor and texture if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried sesame asparagus is a quick, easy, and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover asparagus. With its bright green color and delicious flavor, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give stir-fried sesame asparagus a try.
