Today's recipe share is Asparagus stir fry. We normally grill, roast, or bake asparagus. The recipe I have today is a simple Asparagus stir fry with very few ingredients like garlic and dried red chilies. This tastes good, the flavor that garlic lends to this dish makes it a favorite of anyone who loves garlic.
There's an interesting fact about cleaning the asparagus. It has a hard stalk towards the end, and many prefer to chop off an inch from below before cooking. It is edible but removed to avoid the chewy taste. One can even peel off the skin at the bottom. I normally cut into a length of about two inches to prepare this dish. Hope you try this simple and tasty dish. Here are a few more side dishes to try out.

How to make Asparagus Stir Fry?
Once you clean and cut the Asparagus, saute it in a little oil with cumin, garlic, and dried red chilies. Add a little turmeric and salt if you like. That's all in the cooking process. Cook on low flame and cover with a lid until it is done cooking. You can also stop the cooking process earlier if you like a little crunch in your asparagus. Once done serve it into a serving bowl and enjoy!
