Instructions
Creating the Shrimp and Asparagus Stir-Fry with Mushrooms is a straightforward process. Just follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry. Trim and cut the asparagus, and slice the mushrooms.
2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. If you want a thicker sauce, add cornstarch and mix well.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to shimmer.
4. Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the heated pan in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
5. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if necessary, then add the asparagus and mushrooms. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the asparagus is tender-crisp.
6. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked shrimp to the pan. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir well to coat the shrimp and vegetables evenly.
7. Cook Together: Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
8. Season to Taste: Taste the stir-fry and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
9. Serve Hot: Remove from heat and serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles.
