Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh asparagus
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Wash the asparagus thoroughly under cold water and pat dry.

Step 2

Trim the tough, woody ends of the asparagus by snapping them off or cutting about 1 inch from the base.

Step 3

Slice the asparagus into 2-inch pieces for even cooking.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and honey. Stir until well blended.

Step 6

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 8

Add the asparagus to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until it becomes bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 9

Pour the sauce mixture over the asparagus and add the water. Stir well to coat the asparagus evenly in the sauce.

Step 10

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the asparagus to a serving dish.

Step 12

Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top for garnish before serving.
