Instructions:
1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and trim the asparagus. Slice the mushrooms.
2. Stir-fry the garlic: Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until they soften and release their juices.
4. Add asparagus: Add the asparagus to the wok and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, until it’s tender-crisp but still bright green.
5. Season: Add soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and coat the vegetables evenly.
6. Serve: Serve immediately.
Tips and Variations:
– For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of chili garlic sauce.
– You can add other vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, or snow peas.
– If you don’t have oyster sauce, you can substitute with a teaspoon of fish sauce or more soy sauce.
– To make a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and whisk it into the stir-fry during the last minute of cooking.
