How to Make Asparagus With Oyster Sauce

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-low heat.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 2 scallions (thinly sliced), and 2 cloves minced garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add 1 pound asparagus spears and increase heat to medium-high.
  4. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until asparagus is bright green and slightly tender-crisp.
  5. Pour in 1/4 cup oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water.
  6. Stir-fry quickly over high heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the asparagus evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
