Asparagus Stir-Fry
- Number of Servings: 2
Ingredients
toasted sesame oil8 ounces extra-firm tofu, cut into slices thick as a pencil4 green onions, thinly slicedscant 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger (peeled)1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes1/2 a bunch of asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch piecesa couple big pinches of fine-grain sea salt3 cloves garlic, chopped1 big handful of toasted cashews, chopped up a bita few handfuls of spinach, or chopped kale, or chopped chardzest and juice of one lime2 tablespoons hoisin sauce1 small handful fresh mint, slivered1 small handful fresh basil, slivered
Have all your ingredients prepped and within arms reach of the stove. Heat a splash of sesame oil in a large pan, or well-seasoned wok over medium high heat. Alternately, you can do this in a dry non-stick pan - one of the few occasions I still use non-stick. When it is hot, add the tofu, and cook until golden - a few minutes. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
Add another (generous) splash of oil to the pan and, as soon as it is hot, add the onions, ginger, red pepper flakes, asparagus, and salt. Stir fry for about a minute, then add the garlic, cashews, and spinach and stir-fry for another minute, or until the spinach wilts. Return the tofu to the pan. Stir in the lime zest and juice and the hoisin sauce. Cook for another 10-20 seconds, stirring all the while.
Remove from heat and stir in the mint and basil. Taste and add a bit more salt if needed.
Serves 2-4 (main/side)
