Ingredients

• 450 g asparagus
• 250 g cherry tomatoes
• 3 count garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the asparagus by snapping off the tough woody ends. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch pieces.

Step 2

Rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half.

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 6

Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until they are bright green and slightly tender.

Step 7

Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices.

Step 8

Drizzle the soy sauce and lemon juice over the vegetables. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to coat.

Step 9

Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish or over rice for a light meal.
