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.

Try this cheesy pesto breakfast wrap for an at-home or on-the-go breakfast. It's a tasty combination of ingredients for anyone who enjoys a good breakfast wrap. If you like a lot of pesto, spread some on the wrap before you add the eggs. It goes well with grapes on the side!
Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
This cabbage rolls recipe is super easy to prep with cabbage leaves, ground beef, rice, and condensed tomato soup. I have been using this recipe for well over 20 years and still love it! To speed things up the rolls are cooked in a skillet on the stovetop but this recipe also works well in a slow cooker.
Panang Curry with Tofu and Vegetables
After much improvising and research, this is by far the best Panang I have ever had. So flavorful that no extra seasonings like pepper need to be added.
