Recipe: Asian-Style Fried Ginger-Aspargus

1.2 kg green asparagus

2 young garlic cloves, chopped

4 cm freshly chopped ginger

60 g butter

1 tbsp neutral oil

1 tbsp sesame oil (toasted)

2 tbsp oyster sauce

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

1 tbsp finely chopped coriander leaves

1 finely chopped red chili

Salt & freshly ground sichuan pepper

Wash the asparagus, peel the lower third and cut off woody ends. Place chopped garlic, ginger, butter and oil into a pan and sauté. Add asparagus, increase heat level and stir while frying for 3-4 minutes.

Add sesame oil, oyster- and soy sauce to the asparagus pieces and test if the asparagus pieces are soft enough. If not, continue sautéing at medium heat.

Garnish with coriander and chili, and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Goes well with steamed basmati rice.
