Step 1

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

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel, and slice them into thin, even pieces.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey. Add red pepper flakes if desired. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow it to get hot.

Step 7

Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to turn vibrant green.

Step 8

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown slightly.

Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
