This savory-sweet pork and asparagus stir-fry calls on soy sauce, oyster sauce and Sriracha for bold flavor, fast. Minced ginger and thinly sliced scallions bring bright freshness, while rings of Fresno chili contribute crunch and heat. For less of a kick, seed the chili before slicing. We use ground pork so there’s no need to trim or slice the meat, keeping prep to a minimum. Pencil-size asparagus works best here; if your spears are smaller or larger, adjust the cooking time accordingly. Serve the stir-fry over steamed rice and top with a fried egg for a quick rice bowl.

Tip

Don’t forget to add 2 tablespoons water to the soy sauce mixture. Just that small amount of liquid helps form a light, glaze-like sauce.

Really great
I made this exactly as written and it was fantastic. You could easily swap in other vegetables you have on hand and use this as a template, but it's perfect as-is. The sauce is so flavorful.

Good, and quick
Great use of the fabulous asparagus that come our way in spring. Leftovers are good too.

crispy ginger pork with asparagus
Basically, a great recipe - needed tweaking with regard to amounts. Coating pork lightly in cornstarch was very helpful prior to cooking. Dashes of fresh lime juice and extra black vinegar are welcome.
