    Vegan Thai Asparagus Stir-Fry

    Published: May 4, 2020 · Updated: Aug 18, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Tender asparagus is a welcome sign of spring, and Thai seasonings—including lemongrass, if you can find some—provide a wonderful way to enjoy them. Celebrate spring by making this recipe for Thai-seasoned asparagus. This healthy stir-fry is vegan, so it's a snack or appetizer that everyone can enjoy! Pro tip: Peel the lower part of the asparagus stalks before slicing if the skin is thick and tough. Photos by Evan Atlas.

    Vegan Thai Asparagus Stir-Fry

    Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    • 1 tbsp peanut or other vegetable oil
    • 4 large scallions, sliced thin
    • 2 tbsp fresh lemongrass, thinly sliced
    • dried red chiles, minced or ground, to taste
    • 1 lb asparagus, sliced on a diagonal, stalks and tips kept separate
    • 3–4 tbsp vegetable stock or water
    • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
    • 1 tbsp shoyu or natural soy sauce
    • 2 tbsp fresh mint, minced
    • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
    • salt, to taste

    Instructions

    1. Set a wok or stir-fry pan over high heat. Add the oil and swirl it to coat the inside of the pan.
    2. Add the scallions and stir-fry briefly. Add the ginger, lemongrass, and chiles and continue stir-frying, gradually adding the asparagus, sliced stalks first.
    3. Add stock, a tablespoon at a time, and stir-fry until the asparagus is tender but still bright green. Add the lime juice, shoyu, mint, and fresh cilantro. Toss well. Taste and add salt if needed. Serve immediately.
