|
Serves: 4 Print this Recipe1 pound asparagus spears 1 teaspoon sugar 1 tablespoon chili paste 1 teaspoon sesame oil 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic 1/4 cup chicken broth 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (see Appetizers & Cold Dishes) Break off tough ends of asparagus where stalks snap easily. Cut asparagus diagonally into 2-inch pieces. Mix sugar, chili paste and sesame oil. Heat wok until very hot. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; tilt wok to coat side. Add asparagus and 1 teaspoon garlic; stir-fry 1 minute. Add broth; cover and cook 2 minutes. Remove asparagus from wok; drain. Wash and thoroughly dry wok. Heat wok until very hot. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; tilt wok to coat side. Add 1 teaspoon garlic and the chili paste mixture; stir-fry 1 minute. Add asparagus; stir-fry 1 minute. Stir in sesame seed (see Appetizers & Cold Dishes: Toasted Sesame Seeds). 4 servings **Asparagus is rare and expensive in China, and so it is served on special occasions. Add chicken broth or water if necessary to avoid scorching the asparagus, but continue to stir-fry until the liquid has evaporated. If you want a milder dish, you can substitute ground bean sauce for the chili paste, but it won't be authentic Sichuan. From "Betty Crocker's New Chinese Cookbook."
