I always enjoy asparagus - and this is for other asparagus lovers. The carrots add a lovely contrast of color. And it is only 43 calories a serving! Ingredients:
1/3 cup low sodium chicken broth |
2 teaspoons reduced sodium soy sauce |
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1 teaspoon vegetable oil |
24 asparagus spears, cut into 1/2 inch diagonal pieces |
1/2 cup carrot, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. Combine broth, soy sauce, cornstarch and sugar in a small bowl, stirring until items are disolved making a broth.
2. Heat oil, in a non-stick skillet, then add the asparagus pieces, cooking and stirring constantly, until bright green (about 2 minutes).
3. Add the broth mixture and carrots, cooking and stirring constantly until sauce is thickened and asparagus tender (about 3 more minutes).
