Preparation
- Step 1
Snap off the ends of the asparagus where they break naturally, then cut them into slices one-half inch thick sharply at an angle.
- Step 2
Rinse and drain the watercress and trim off any heavy stems. Separate the watercress into branches.
- Step 3
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.
- Step 4
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.
