Notes
Cooking tips for how to cook asparagus:
- I like to pick asparagus that is thin and slim because it is faster to cook and tastes better in texture. If your asparagus is bigger and thicker, I suggest you cut it into half and cook the lower part first, then add the top part for stir frying.
- Cut the bottom part of asparagus, it’s white part because it is hard and tastes a little bit bitter. Therefore, I usually cut a little more off.
- Add some water into the pan and cover the lid for 1-2 minutes. Then, stir fry them a little bit. Remember, don’t over cook them. Greenish and a little bit soft at the lower stems is a good indicator for readiness.
