Ingredients

  • 1 12 lbs fresh asparagus spears, trimmed (I like thin asparagus for this dish)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 14 cup thinly sliced red sweet bell pepper
  • 14 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
  • 14 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 18 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce (San-J makes a wheat-free tamari soy sauce)
  • 12 teaspoon sugar
  • 12 teaspoon salt

Method

  • In a skillet or wok, stir-fry asparagus in oil until crisp-tender.
  • Remove and keep warm.
  • In the same skillet, stir-fry red pepper, walnuts, ginger, garlic, and pepper flakes for 2 minutes or until red pepper is crisp-tender.
  • Stir in water, soy sauce, sugar, and salt; heat through.
  • Add asparagus; stir to coat.
