Stir-Fried Garlic Asparagus

Course Side

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds asparagus (thinnest spears available)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 Tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh orange zest
  • Coarse-ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Trim/remove the tough bottoms of each asparagus spear. Cut the remaining spears into 2” long pieces.
  • Heat oil in a stovetop wok or large skillet over very high heat. When the oil is nearly smoking, add asparagus and toss to coat—stirring rigorously for approximately 1 minute.
