Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds pencil-thin asparagus (or substitute small or medium asparagus, split lengthwise)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 serrano or other fresh hot chile, finely chopped
A large handful of basil, mint and cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Snap off and discard the tough bottoms of each asparagus spear. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch lengths
  • In a wok or cast-iron skillet, heat the oil until nearly smoking.
