    Cup of Yum

  2. Rinse/ wash asparagus. 
  3. Pour 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into the pan and turn on medium fire.
  4. Then, put the washed and cut asparagus from step 2 into the pan.
  5. After that, add ¼ teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir fry them a little. 
  6. Cover the lid for 1-2 minutes. 
  7. After opening the lid, stir fry them a little and it is ready to serve.

Notes

  • I like to pick asparagus that is thin and slim because it is faster to cook and tastes better in texture. If your asparagus is bigger and thicker, I suggest you cut it into half and cook the lower part first, then add the top part for stir frying. 
  • Cut the bottom part of asparagus, it’s white part because it is hard and tastes a little bit bitter. Therefore, I usually cut a little more off. 
  • Add some water into the pan and cover the lid for 1-2 minutes. Then, stir fry them a little bit. Remember, don’t over cook them. Greenish and a little bit soft at the lower stems is a good indicator for readiness.
