- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 tsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 2 Scallions, chopped

Directions
Step 1
Trim the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends. Cut the asparagus spears into 2-inch pieces.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, rice vinegar, maple syrup, cornstarch, and water. Set the sauce aside.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the vegan beef strips to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Remove the vegan beef from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
Add the remaining sesame oil to the skillet, followed by the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the asparagus to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
Step 7
Return the vegan beef strips to the skillet and pour the sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Step 8
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 9
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
