Asparagus Nut Stir-Fry

This pretty side dish is an excellent way to
serve one of the first springtime vegetables
from our garden. I never have leftovers
since everyone goes for the fresh taste of
the asparagus, the crunch of the walnuts
and the zippy seasoning.

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 pounds fresh asparagus spears,
• trimmed
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced sweet red pepper
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon each sugar and salt
