Asparagus In Ginger Scented Sauce

Serves 4 Prep Time 5 minutes   Cook Time 5 minutes   Rated:

This is such a quick side dish on a night when you feel like getting flames and woks and theatre happening in the kitchen. Completely delicious, super easy to sub in other veggies of choice as this sauce is an all rounder and goes a long way. Perhaps serve with rice, or just as a little bit on the side. We loved it for lunch! How about you? Are you cut out to be a wok star?
