Asparagus in Black Bean Sauce

This recipe, which couldn't be simpler but is really tasty came from one of the staff at IE Produce in Takapuna . We often stop for a chat when I drop in for my regular vegetable shopping and as she knows I write a food blog and love cooking she generously shared her recipe with me.

To make it break the bottom parts off a bunch of  thin, young and fresh organic asparagus stalks. Discard these bits.

Heat a little oil in a wok ( or do as I did and use your cast iron fry pan) and quickly fry a clove of chopped garlic .Toss the asparagus into the wok . Stir fry it until it is hot but still crisp tender. And finally swirl in a small amount of black bean sauce. So good!
