Preparation
- Step 1
Snap off the ends of the asparagus where they break naturally and peel the spears. Slant-cut them about one-inch long.
- Step 2
Beat the lemon juice and mustard and set aside.
- Step 3
Heat the oil in a wok or skillet. Add the garlic, stir-fry about a minute, then add the asparagus and stir-fry about 5 minutes, until they are crisp-tender, lightly seared but still bright green. Stir in the lemon-mustard.
- Step 4
Season to taste with salt and pepper, stir in the scallions and stir-fry another few seconds. Transfer to a serving dish.
