Ingredients
Method
Prepare the asparagus
- Trim the dry, woody bottom ends of the asparagus before unwrapping the bundle. Wash well. If any stalks are thick, lightly peel the lower section to remove tough fiber.
- Line up the stalks and cut on a slant into pieces about two finger-joints long (approx. 4-5 cm).
Prep the rest
- Trim the root base of the white beech mushrooms and split the clump in half, keeping small bunches.
- Cut the baby corn diagonally into thin slices. Peel the carrot, slice a small section, then cut into thin matchsticks to match the asparagus size.
Sear the mushrooms and carrot
- Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Add the white beech mushrooms and sauté until golden and fragrant.
- Add the carrot and stir-fry until it softens slightly (children love it once tender).
Fast-fry the corn and asparagus
- Add the baby corn and toss briefly. Add the asparagus and season with salt and white pepper.
- Stir-fry quickly over high heat so the color turns vivid green.
Steam through and finish
- Splash 60 c.c. of water along the edge of the wok. Keep tossing over high heat until the water reduces and the asparagus is just tender.
- Turn off the heat and plate immediately while still vibrant and crisp.
