GINGER CHICKEN ASPARAGUS STIR FRY
This is a delicious stir-fry recipe and a really quick and easy dinner. Although the original recipe calls for asparagus, I have used fresh green beans (cut into 1-inch pieces) in place of the asparagus. The amounts for this recipe serves really only about 3 people, however all ingredients can easily be doubled to serve more. This is delicious!

Steps:
- see above
Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp, wilted, or have brown spots.
- Trim the asparagus properly: Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, about 1-2 inches from the bottom. You can also use a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer layer of the asparagus.
- Cook the asparagus properly: Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most popular methods are steaming, roasting, and stir-frying. Steaming is the gentlest method and preserves the asparagus's nutrients and flavor. Roasting brings out the asparagus's natural sweetness. Stir-frying is a quick and easy way to cook asparagus, and it results in a slightly crispy texture.
- Add flavor to your asparagus: Asparagus can be seasoned with a variety of ingredients, such as olive oil, butter, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. You can also add other vegetables, such as mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers, to your asparagus dish.
- Serve asparagus as a side dish or main course: Asparagus can be served as a side dish with grilled chicken, fish, or steak. It can also be served as a main course with a side of rice or quinoa.
Conclusion:
Asparagus is a versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. By following these tips, you can cook asparagus perfectly and enjoy its delicious flavor.
