Delicious Stir-Fried Asparagus Recipe in 5 Easy Steps

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

    Make sure the oil is hot before adding the ingredients.
  2. Sauté Garlic

    Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

    Do not let the garlic burn, as it can become bitter.
  3. Add Asparagus

    Add the trimmed asparagus to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.

    Keep the asparagus moving to ensure even cooking.
  4. Season

    Pour in the soy sauce and red pepper flakes, tossing to combine.

    Adjust the soy sauce based on your taste preference.
  5. Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds, and serve immediately.

    Pair with rice or as a side dish to your favorite protein.
