This simple side dish of stir-fried asparagus, fresh ginger root and garlic can be made with either a vegetable or chicken broth base. Serve as an aromatic and colorful accompaniment to grilled fish or roasted chicken.

Ingredients

1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound asparagus, cut into 2
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger root
2 cloves garlic, minced
Toasted sesame seeds to garnish

Directions

Place the broth, cornstarch and soy sauce into a small bowl and whisk vigorously until thoroughly blended.
Place the oil into a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the asparagus, ginger and garlic, and then cook the mixture for about 5 minutes.
Pour in the broth mixture, stir well to combine and then cook until the sauce becomes thick.
Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and garnish with some toasted sesame seeds; serve immediately.
