Sautéed Asian Asparagus and Shiitake Mushrooms




Recently saw this recipe featured on an episode of Americas Test Kitchen and am totally obsessed with it. I have used a very similar sauce to make a variation of Mapo Tofu in the past and love the sweet/tangy Asian flair to it so decided to make it today. It is fairly simple and takes a few minutes from start to finish.

RECIPE: Sauteed Asian Asparagus and Shiitake Mushrooms

Ingredients

Sauce,
2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp Sherry, cooking wine
2 tsp Brown sugar
1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tsp, sesame oil

1 Tbsp vegetable oil (to saute vegetables)
1 bunch Asparagus, cut
1 box Shiitake Mushrooms, sliced

Method

1. To make sauce, combine the water, sherry, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger and sesame oil.
2. In a cast iron skillet heat the vegetable oil on medium heat for a few minutes till the oil is very hot and the chopped vegetables. Stir occasionally and let the veggies brown a bit. 
3. Add the sauce and let thicken, stir occasionally till the liquid is almost dry.






Enjoy!
