Asparagus Fever
For the last few weeks, I've stocked up variety of groceries in my fridge and one of them is my favorite green asparagus. I have two reasons for it:
1) I usually cook either pasta or spaghetti frequently, just because it tastes good, fast and healthy, most of the time I add chopped asparagus along with other vegetables.
2) Lately I've been obsessed with bacon and asparagus stir fried in olive oil.
"In their simplest form, the shoots are boiled or steamed until tender and served with a light sauce like hollandaise or melted butter or a drizzle of olive oil with a dusting of Parmesan cheese." -- Asparagus, Wiki
Mike's Kitchen proudly presents 10 minute guide to tasty asparagus stir fried recipe.
Ingredients
1 pack of small/medium asparagus
2 slices of meat only smoked bacon
1 teaspoon of vegetable or olive oil
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Preparation:
Clean the asparagus until the skin is peeled off. Then chop them in small or medium slices. Slice the bacon accordingly and set aside.
Cooking:
Heat the frying pan at 325 degrees. If the pan is fully heated, add the vegetable or olive oil (Remember the rules of engagement; never pour the oil until the pan is fully heated). After the bacon is changing towards red-brownish color, add the chopped asparagus. Add salt accordingly and stir nicely. You can add the water if you want additional softness in the stems (for large or medium sized stems). Stir cook for about 5-7 minutes until the stems are soft and you can sense the asparagus smell.
Serving:
Serve with steamed rice or as a side-dish to any main course.
