- 1 lb asparagus 450 g
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves grated
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Clean the asparagus, pat it dry and snap off the woody ends. Use the ends to make asparagus stock.
Cut the asparagus into pieces, about 4-5 cm/1.6-2.3 inch long.
Saute: Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet or another large pan. Add the asparagus and fry it, stirring often, for about 3-4 minutes.
Sauce: In the meantime, grate the garlic and the ginger and place them into a small bowl. Add the soy sauce and the Worcestershire sauce. Stir well.
Add the sauce to the pan and continue cooking, stirring all the time, for about 2 minutes or until the asparagus is done to your liking. It should definitely still retain a good bite.
Stir in the sesame oil and serve immediately.
