Fried Asparagus is a quick and delicious side vegetable. This quick-cooking and waterless method will preserve the fabulous nutritional content of asparagus.
The asparagus stalk is tender to a certain point and then becomes tough and stringy. Hold the asparagus halfway down the stalk and with the other hand, holding just up from the bottom, bend the stalk. The stalk will break where the tender ends and tough begins.
