Nothing says Springtime more than the appearance of asparagus. Crisp-tender asparagus in a savory stir fry is a quick side dish that is bright and flavorful. It doesn’t get any healthier than this!
Ingredients
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. granulated Swerve
1 medium orange, juiced
1 Tbsp. corn starch
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 bunches asparagus, trimmed and sliced into 1′ pieces or leave them whole
1 red chile (such as Fresno), thinly sliced, seeded if you prefer less heat
Kosher salt
½ cup cilantro leaves with tender stems
1 tsp. toasted white sesame seeds
1 handful fresh basil, chiffonade
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, Swerve, juiced orange and cornstarch. Whisk and set aside.
In a wok or large frying pan, heat the oil. Add the garlic and fry for a few seconds.
Add the asparagus and the peppers. You can cut the asparagus in 1 or 2-inch chunks or you can leave them whole. If you have children, you might want to cut them in chunks to make it easier for them to eat. Fry for a couple of minutes.
Pour the sauce over the asparagus and heat through. Garnish with fresh basil or cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve by itself as a side dish or turn this into a meal by serving it over cauliflower rice or regular rice.
