Asparagus in Sriracha Chilli
As a huge fan of hot sauces and in particular, sriracha chilli, how can I resist adding it to my stir fries for some fiery kick. Besides being a sauce condiment, sriracha chilli is an excellent sauce for stir-fries.
In this recipe, the thinner variety of asparagus are used so they cook very quickly. You can use thick asparagus as well, do adjust the cooking time if using them.
I ordered my Sriracha sauce (Huy Fong brand) from iherb.com (use my affiliate code WIF026 to get $5-10 off first order). I usually order a bunch of other stuff and my parcel gets delivered to Singapore with a flat shipping fee.
