Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2-2 lbs fresh asparagus, no more than 1/2 inch in diameter

This recipe is very versatile, so feel free to tweak it to your liking. I didn't have any water chestnuts on hand, so I used bamboo shoots instead. I also added a bit of chopped cilantro for extra flavor. It turned out great!
