This asparagus in soy sauce recipe is a quick-and-healthy vegetable side dish. Even my son, who is very picky, loves this. It works well as a snack with wine, as an appetizer, or as a side dish — especially for Asian-inspired dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic , chopped
- 1 pound fresh asparagus , trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce , or more to taste

Heat olive oil and sesame oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat; add garlic and decrease the heat to medium. Cook and stir garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add asparagus, soy sauce, and water to garlic; cook and stir until liquid is mostly evaporated, about 3 minutes. Cover the wok and cook until asparagus are tender yet firm to the bite, 5 to 10 minutes more.

The Real Deal Korean Beef Ribs
This is an authentic Korean beef rib recipe, not the Americanized version. This is super easy and a crowd pleaser. This is for 4 pounds of ribs. I find 2 tablespoons of honey is perfect for a not-so-sweet rib. This gives you the perfect amount of tanginess. However, if you like it sweeter you can add up to 3 tablespoons.
