Main Ingredients- 4-5 stalks fresh asparagus
- 1/6 red bell pepper
- 1/6 yellow bell pepper
- 2 frankfurter sausages
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, rinse the asparagus thoroughly under running water and pat dry. The ends of the asparagus can be tough, so use a peeler to lightly remove the outer layer for a more tender bite. Once peeled, cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces, about 3-4 cm long.
Step 2
Slice the frankfurter sausages diagonally into bite-sized pieces. Remove the seeds from the red and yellow bell peppers and julienne them for added color. Feel free to add other ingredients like onions or bacon according to your preference.
Step 3
Heat a suitable amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Cook until the garlic turns a golden color.
Step 4
Once the fragrant garlic oil is ready, add the sliced frankfurter sausages and stir-fry over medium heat until lightly browned. The sausages will release their own juices, making them even more delicious.
Step 5
When the sausages are partially cooked, add the prepared asparagus and stir-fry together. It’s important to stir-fry quickly at this stage to prevent the asparagus from becoming too soft. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to season lightly.
Step 6
When the asparagus is slightly cooked and still retains its crispness, add the julienned bell peppers and stir-fry briefly, just to combine. Bell peppers can become mushy if overcooked, so cook them for a short time to keep their vibrant color.
Step 7
Finally, add 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce around the edges of the pan to enhance the savory flavor. Stir-fry quickly to ensure the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly. Adjust the amount of oyster sauce to your taste.
Step 8
Once all the ingredients are well coated with the oyster sauce and have a appetizing color, turn off the heat. Overcooking can diminish the crispness of the vegetables, so stir-frying quickly over high heat is key.
Step 9
Transfer the finished asparagus and sausage stir-fry to a serving plate. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for an extra touch of nutty aroma, and your delicious rice side dish, ‘Asparagus and Sausage Stir-Fry,’ is ready! Enjoy it with a warm bowl of rice.
