Garlic Ginger Asparagus

Asparagus is stir fried with ginger and garlic. This is absolutely simple, takes less than 10 minutes including preparation time and tastes awesome as a side dish.


Ingredients:
• bunch of baby asparagus
•2 tablespoons olive oil
•1 large clove garlic, minced or pressed
•1/2 to 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
•2 tablespoons water

Preparation:
Snap off and discard tough ends of asparagus, then cut spears into 1/4 inch slanting slices.
Place wok or heavy skillet over high heat; when hot, add oil. When oil begins to heat, add garlic and ginger and stir once; then add asparagus and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add water; cover and cook until asparagus is tender-crisp to bite (2 to 3 minutes).
