Crispy and Delicious Sautéed Asparagus with Vegetables
Packed with Benefits! A Recipe for Crunchy Asparagus and Vegetable Stir-fry
When looking for healthy ingredients for my father who has diabetes, I learned that asparagus is very beneficial. This is a simple stir-fry dish made with asparagus. It’s a nutritious and flavorful meal that’s perfect as a side dish or a light meal.
Main Ingredients- 8 asparagus spears
- 1/2 onion
- 1/3 carrot
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the fresh asparagus spears thoroughly under running water. You can trim off the tough bottom ends for a more tender bite. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 4-5 cm long.
Step 2
Prepare the onion and carrot to be stir-fried with the asparagus. Slice the onion thinly, and julienne the carrot to a similar thickness as the asparagus. This will create a wonderful texture harmony when cooked.
Step 3
Heat a pan over medium-low heat and add a moderate amount of cooking oil. First, add the sliced onions and stir-fry until they become translucent. Sautéing the onions well will bring out their natural sweetness, enhancing the overall flavor of the dish.
Step 4
Once the onions start to turn slightly transparent, add the prepared asparagus and carrots to the pan. Increase the heat to high and stir-fry quickly for 2-3 minutes. It’s important not to overcook the asparagus, as it can become mushy; aim to keep it crisp. Finally, add 1 teaspoon of salt to season and stir-fry briefly until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 5
Transfer the delicious sautéed asparagus and vegetable mixture to a beautiful serving dish. It’s best enjoyed immediately while warm to fully appreciate its crisp texture. It’s also great served over rice as a simple rice bowl or as a delightful side dish.
