Dinner: Chinese stir-fry with Asparagus

Super low carb dinner tonight - going to be away from home for a couple of days and pretty sure it's going to be tough keeping low low carb and high protein while I am away (we'll see!)

So tonight was a really fast stir-fry with asparagus.

I love cooking asparagus like this:

Cut the woody stems off the asparagus, but try to leave the stems as long as possible. Rinse then throw into a large heavy frying pan with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and then turn the heat up high. Let the asparagus fry on one side then turn and leave for another 30 seconds. Then /carefully/ pour on 1 tablespoon of water (it might spit!) and place a lid on. Let simmer for 30 seconds then remove lid and allow water to evaporate. You can add soy sauce or salt and pepper now.

Along side this I quickly pan fried a store bought bag of mixed stir-fry vegetables, and added garlic and soy sauce.

I then served it all with hot chilli sauce and a splash more soy.

Really tasty, filling (there was LOADS) and ZERO carb dinner!
