How to Make Asparagus Fried Rice
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil or butter in a non-stick wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped red onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add 1 pound asparagus spears (trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces) and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until crisp-tender.
- Add 3 cups cooked, cooled, and fluffy rice (see tips for perfect rice) and 1-2 finely chopped red chilies (adjust to your spice preference). Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Season with 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
- Optional: Stir in 2 large eggs, scrambled, during the final minute of cooking for added richness.
- Serve immediately and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
