Time 20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds medium-thick asparagus
1 bunch watercress
1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Salt

Steps:

  • Snap off the ends of the asparagus where they break naturally, then cut them into slices one-half inch thick sharply at an angle.
  • Rinse and drain the watercress and trim off any heavy stems. Separate the watercress into branches.
  • Shortly before serving time, heat the oil in a wok or large skillet. Add the asparagus and stir-fry them two to three minutes until they begin to lose their rawness and turn bright green. Sprinkle them with sugar.
  • Add the watercress and stir-fry until the watercress wilts. Season with salt. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot or at room temperature.
