Ingredients:

Serving

4 cups brown rice, hot cooked (or white , whichever you prefer)
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 1/2 cups water or 1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
1 tbsp gingerroot, minced
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
1/4 tsp dry crushed red pepper
1 dash white pepper
2 tbsp safflower oil
1 lb fresh asparagus , woody and fibrous bits removed, tender part cut into 3 lengths (3 cups)
4 scallions, chopped
1 small sweet red pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup unsalted dry-roasted cashews or 1 cup slivered almonds
mandarin orange section (optional)
toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Directions:

Cook or reheat brown rice according to package directions.
In small bowl, combine soy sauce and cornstarch. Stir in remaining sauce ingredients; set aside.
Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high temperature; when very hot, add the oil ( Hot wok, cold oil, food won't stick! ).
Add the asparagus, scallions, pepper, and garlic and stirfy until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Stir the sauce mixture again, then pour it over the vegetables and stir until it is thickened and bubbly.
Reduce heat; add cashews and stir.
Cover and cook 1 minute, until cashews are heated through.
Garnish with mandarin orange sections and/or toasted sesame seeds, and serve over cooked rice.
Note: 3-4 cups broccoli florets may be substituted for asparagus, if desired.
