STIR-FRIED PORK WITH ASPARAGUS



Stir-Fried Pork with Asparagus image

If you like a really strong garlic flavor, reserve half of the garlic and stir it in at the end of the cooking, along with the optional sesame oil. Serve with rice. Other cuts of meat you can use here: beef, preferably sirloin; lamb, preferably from the shoulder or leg; boneless chicken; shrimp (which will cook more quickly).

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
3 or 4 small dried red chiles, optional
1 pound boneless pork, preferably shoulder or tenderloin, thinly sliced or cut into 1/2-inch chunks
2 cups trimmed pencil-thin asparagus, cut into 1-inch-long pieces
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
1/2 cup sliced scallion
1/2 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade (page 160), or water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil, optional

Steps:

  • Have all the ingredients ready, including cooked white rice if you're planning to serve it. Preheat a large skillet over high heat for about 2 minutes. Immediately add half the peanut oil, the chiles if you're using them, and the pork, spreading it in one even layer. Cook, stirring only occasionally, until the pork browns, about 3 minutes. Transfer the pork to a bowl (discard the chiles) and lower the heat slightly.
  • Add the remaining oil and the asparagus to the skillet. Again, cook, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus turns bright green and begins to become tender, 3 or 4 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and scallion and cook, stirring once or twice, for 30 seconds.
  • Add the stock and soy sauce, stir, and cook for 15 seconds. Add the sesame oil if you like and serve.

Holding out for regional produce may seem absurdly romantic, or a little stubborn, but there's no denying the thrill when, after months of apples, potatoes and sturdy greens, suddenly asparagus appears in full force at the market. Finally, spring has arrived.

SIMPLE SPICY ASPARAGUS IN A WOK



Simple Spicy Asparagus in a Wok image

Asparagus doesn't have to be treated as a delicate, fragile thing, napped only with butter or creamy sauces, or served plain with olive oil and salt. That's fine for the first week or two of the season, but then it's time to dial up the interest factor and add some spice. Asparagus actually stands up quite well to aggressive flavors. A quick toss in a hot wok with garlic, ginger and chiles doesn't overwhelm it at all, at least if you don't overcook the spears. Instead, the vegetable's sweetness becomes accentuated by contrast.

Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds asparagus, medium- or pencil-size
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 small dried red peppers
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon Chinese chile paste
1 teaspoon grated garlic
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 jalapeño or serrano chile, finely chopped
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
3 green onions, slivered
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Snap off and discard bottoms of asparagus, then cut into 2-inch pieces (halve thicker pieces lengthwise first).
  • Set wok over high heat and add vegetable oil. Add dried peppers and let sizzle, then add asparagus, tossing well to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for a minute or so, then add chile paste, garlic, ginger, orange zest and jalapeño. Continue cooking over high heat for a minute, maybe less, until asparagus is cooked but still firm and bright green. (It will continue cooking off the heat.)
  • Mound asparagus on a serving platter and drizzle with sesame oil. Sprinkle cilantro, green onion and sesame seeds over the top.
