Spring Asparagus Stir-Fry

• Makes: 4 servings
• Serving Size: 1 rounded cup
• Preparation Time: 10 minutes
• Cooking Time: 7 minutes

Ingredients

2	Tbsp.	naturally brewed, reduced-sodium soy sauce
1	Tbsp.	honey or coconut nectar
2	tsp.	toasted sesame oil
2	large	cloves garlic, minced
1	tsp.	grated fresh gingerroot
2	lbs.	asparagus, ends trimmed, cut on diagonal into 2-inch-long pieces
1/8	tsp.	sea salt
1	tsp.	sesame seeds, roasted or toasted

Directions

1. In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce and the honey. Set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. (Reduce the heat if the oil begins to smoke.) Add the garlic and the ginger and sauté until they're fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3. Add the thick-stemmed asparagus pieces and stir-fry them for 1 minute. Add the thin-stemmed asparagus pieces and stir-fry them for 1 minute. Add the asparagus tips and stir-fry them until they're tender-crisp, about 2 minutes.
4. Add the soy sauce-honey mixture and cook while tossing to fully coat the asparagus, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the mixture with salt. Transfer the asparagus with any remaining sauce to a serving bowl, sprinkle with the sesame seeds, and serve.
