Spicy Asparagus Stir Fry (Indo-Chinese Fusion Recipe) Recipe
This is a twist on the Chinese way of preparing stir fry using a super healthy food (asparagus) as the star of the dish. Asparagus is very easy to cut and cooks fast and hence fits in on any busy weekday. I love this dish because it combines a super food (asparagus) in a spicy, tasty side dish recipe.

Method · 40 min
- To prepare Spicy Asparagus Stir Fry (Indo-Chinese Fusion Recipe) heat a large wok, take about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil (or cooking oil) and sauté the ginger garlic paste until the raw smell goes away.
- Now add and onions until slightly soft. Don’t soften it too much as we want the onions to retain some of their crunchiness.
- Now add the asparagus pieces, some salt and cover the wok with a lid to cook them for about 5-7 minutes. This is where you want to be careful. Asparagus gets cooked very easily and you want the resulting dish to yet have a bright green colour rather than having a dull colour.
- Once cooked, add the soy sauce and chili garlic and let the whole thing cook for about 2 minutes.
- Do a taste test to make sure salt and spice is up to your taste. If you think it’s too spicy you can add a little brown sugar to sweeten the dish.
- Finally, garnish and serve with chopped spring onions.
- You can serve Spicy Asparagus Stir Fry (Indo-Chinese Fusion Recipe) with Vegetable Fried Brown Rice Recipe, Tofu Fried Rice Recipe or as a part of Naked Burrito Bowl Recipe.
Did you know: 1 cup of asparagus gives 2/3 RDV (recommended daily value) of folate (iron). Asparagus is very high in anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits while being rich in antioxidants (cancer prevention) and natural fiber. This food promotes heart health and helps regulate blood sugar.
