Preparation

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Rinse and drain the watercress and trim off any heavy stems. Separate the watercress into branches.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
