Recipe type: Stir-Fried Vegetable
Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 18-20 spears of fresh asparagus
  • thinly sliced pork loin, about ¼ lb.
  • 2 Thai chili, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 3 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Golden Mountain seasoning sauce (or light soy sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon Agave (or sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon Oyster Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable (or Canola oil)
  • pepper (optional)
Instructions
  1. To prepare the asparagus, snap the end of one spear with your fingers. Just bend and snap the woody stems. It will break off where the toughness ends, and the tender asparagus begins. Then use that one spear to guide where to cut the rest. Cut them into about an inch long.
  2. Thinly slice the garlic and chili.
  3. Slice the pork thinly against the grain. You will see the fibers of the meat are going in one direction. Cut across in the other direction to ensure the tenderness.
  4. Mix Agave (or sugar), Golden Mountain Seasoning Sauce (or light soy sauce) and Oyster sauce in a small bowl.
  5. Heat up the oil in a medium pan, medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the sliced garlic and chili, stir for a minute until cooked but not burnt.
  6. Add the pork, stir-fry until the meat is no longer pink.
  7. Add asparagus, stir-fry for about 1 minute.
  8. Add the sauce mixture and fresh ground black pepper (optional), stir until everything is mixed together and the asparagus is cooked but still firm. This should take about 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat, serve hot with a side of steamed rice or Quinoa.
