Stir‐Fried Asparagus, Three Ways Recipe

Each of these variations is a tiny more elaborate than the basic recipe. If you precook the asparagus in advance, the final preparation will take just three or four minutes.

Ingredients

3/2
pounds of
To 2 asparagus, trimmed and peeled, then cut into 2 inch lengths

2
tablespoons of
Peanut oil (preferred) or other oil

Preparation Instructions

Simmer, steam, or microwave the asparagus; undercook it a little bit. Drain and plunge it into ice water, then drain and dry. (You may prepare the recipe in advance up to this point; refrigerate, well wrapped or in a covered container, for up to 2 days before proceeding.)

When you're ready to cook, preheat a wok or large skillet over high heat for 3 or 4 minutes. Add the oil, wait a few seconds, then add the asparagus. Cook, stirring, with the heat on high, for 2 or 3 minutes, until the asparagus is dry, hot, and beginning to brown. Sprinkle with salt and serve.
