Asparagus Stir Fry With Almonds
Ingredients
  • 1½ pounds fresh asparagus (untrimmed)
  • 2 or 3 green onions (scallions), trimmed of roots and upper 2 inches of green top
  • ¼ cup slivered almonds
  • 1½ tablespoons oriental sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce or regular soy sauce
Instructions
  1. Break off the tough ends (about 2½ to 3 inches of bottom) of asparagus and discard. Cut asparagus spears and green onions on a diagonal into 1¼-inch pieces. Set aside.
  2. In a 12-inch or similar nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, toast the almonds, stirring constantly, until they just begin to turn light brown. Immediately, turn them out onto paper toweling. In the same skillet, heat oil to hot but not smoking. Add asparagus and green onions, and adjust the heat so they cook rapidly but don’t burn. Stir fry 3 to 4 minutes or until the pieces are almost tender when tested with a fork. Add soy sauce; cook, stirring, about 1 minute longer. Sprinkle almonds over top and serve.
