“Americans can eat garbage, provided you sprinkle it liberally with ketchup, mustard, chili sauce, tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, or any other condiment which destroys the original flavor of the dish.” |

* Note: Fermented black beans, available in Asian markets.
Slice the cleaned asparagus diagonally into 1/4-inch pieces. Set
aside.
In a small bowl marinate the sliced beef in 2 tablespoons of the light
soy sauce, ginger, rice wine and the cornstarch. Mix well and let sit for
15 minutes.
Heat a wok or large frying pan and add the oil. The oil should begin
to smoke. Quickly lay the meat on one side in the pan. Do not turn, but
cook over high heat for a moment until the one side begins to brown.
Toss-stir the meat for a moment and remove from the pan, allowing the
oil to drain back into the pan.
Heat the pan again and add the garlic. Stir-fry for just a moment and
add the rinsed fermented black beans (dow see). Stir-fry for another
moment and add the asparagus.
Toss for a few seconds, then add the remaining soy sauce, salt and
sugar. Stir-fry just until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the meat and chicken stock. Stir to make a sauce. Serve
immediately.
Hint on cleaning asparagus: Hold the bottom end of the stem in one hand
and gently bend the stalk with the other. The stalk will break where it
is tender, thus giving you a piece of asparagus that is entirely edible.
With a little practice you will know exactly where to break the vegetable.
Save the broken-off ends for soups. Slice and add to soup stock, then
drain and discard the coarse stalks before serving.
