Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds asparagus
2 tablespoons oil
6 pieces red peppers, dried
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
1/2 teaspoon chili paste
1 /2 teaspoon orange zest
1 jalapeno, chopped
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
3 slices green onions
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Preparation
cut asparagus into 2 inch pieces
Set wok over high heat and add vegetable oil. Add dried peppers and let sizzle, then add asparagus, tossing well to coat.
Stir-fry for a minute or so, then add chile paste, garlic, ginger, orange zest and jalapeño. Continue cooking over high heat for a minute, maybe less, until asparagus is cooked but still firm and bright green. (It will continue cooking off the heat.)
Mound asparagus on a serving platter and drizzle with sesame oil. Sprinkle cilantro, green onion and sesame seeds over the top.
