This is very close to what we get at the local Chinese restaurant. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons white wine or 2 tablespoons water |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1/2 cup black bean sauce |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced |
1 tablespoon oil |
1 cup vegetable broth |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 1/2 lbs asparagus, cut into 2 inch pieces |
3 green onions, cut into 2 inch pieces |
1 tablespoon cashews, chopped |
Directions:
1. In small bowl mix wine (water) and cornstarch until smooth, set aside. In another bowl mix black bean sauce, garlic and ginger.
2. Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add black bean sauce, cook stirring constantly about 1 minute. Add broth and soy sauce stirring about 1 minute.
3. Increase heat to medium high. Add asparagus and green onions, cook about 4 minutes till crisp-tender. If needed add additional broth to prevent sticking.
4. Remove asparagus. Reduce heat to medium. Add wine, cornstarch mixture stirring until thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour sauce over asparagus and sprinkle with cashews.
