Asparagus with a twist – Asian

Peel the asparagus and cut diagonally into approximately 1-2cm wide slices. Clean and slice the mushrooms. Finely dice or chop the garlic and ginger. Pick the coriander leaves. Heat the oil in a wok and quickly stir-fry the garlic and ginger. Add the asparagus and stir-fry in batches over high heat until tender (al dente). Then add the mixed mushrooms and stir-fry briefly. Deglaze everything with soy sauce and oyster sauce. Add freshly ground pepper and a pinch of sugar. Whisk the sherry with Mondamin to lightly thicken the asparagus. Sprinkle with fresh coriander to serve. Serve with the baby potatoes.
