Tips:

Select the right asparagus: Choose asparagus spears that are firm, straight, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, limp, or have woody ends.
Trim the asparagus: Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, usually about 1 inch from the bottom. You can also peel the asparagus if desired, using a vegetable peeler to remove the outer layer of the spears.
Blanch the asparagus: Blanching the asparagus before stir-frying helps to preserve its color, flavor, and nutrients. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Make the honey soy sauce: Combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined.
Stir-fry the asparagus: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the asparagus and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the asparagus is heated through and slightly charred. Add the honey soy sauce and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the asparagus is evenly coated with the sauce.
Serve immediately: Honey soy asparagus is best served immediately after cooking. Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions, if desired.

Conclusion:

Honey soy asparagus is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet, savory, and umami flavors makes this dish irresistible. With its vibrant green color and tender-crisp texture, honey soy asparagus is sure to be a hit at your next meal.
