Victoria Island Asparagus

Victoria Island Asparagus with Nichols Farms Pistachios

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound fresh Victoria Island asparagus
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup roasted/salted/coarsely chopped Nichols Farms Pistachios
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions:

Trim woody ends of asparagus spears. Slice asparagus (with a sharply diagonal slant) into 3-inch lengths. Heat the oil in large skillet. To test when oil is hot enough place a piece of asparagus in pan. Ready when it sizzles. Add asparagus, ginger and pepper; stir-fry over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add soy sauce and stir-fry 2 minutes longer. Add pistachios and stir-fry briefly just to heat through.

*To add flavor, add sesame seeds
