How to Make Asparagus Nut Stir Fry

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the asparagus and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until crisp-tender. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the sliced red pepper, chopped walnuts, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until the red pepper is slightly softened but still crisp.
  4. Stir in the water, soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
  5. Add the cooked asparagus back to the skillet.
  6. Gently stir to combine and coat the asparagus with the sauce.
  7. Serve immediately over rice or quinoa (optional).
