Beef and Asparagus Stir Fry | Jennifer Cooks
I don’t know about you, but I crave a good stir fry every once in a while, so last night, I scrounged through the fridge for ingredients that would work well together.  It just-so-happened that I had some asparagus and mushrooms, and then found some whole cashews in the pantry.
I loved the blend of flavors that came together with the tangy-ness of the fish sauce, the salty Teriyaki, and the sweet and spicy chili sauce.  The crisp asparagus worked really well with the earthy mushrooms and crunchy, toasty cashews.  I love fragrant Jasmine rice and found the microwave directions on the back of the package worked great, since I don’t have a rice cooker.  I followed the directions on the package and cooked it in a covered glass bowl in the microwave, which didn’t stick to the glass, so I didn’t have any sticky pots to scrub!
In a medium skillet, pour in cashews and roast over medium-high heat, tossing often, until lightly toasted; pour off onto a plate and set aside.  In a bowl, toss the meat with 1 tablespoon of the sugar, 1 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.  In a small bowl, whisk the remaining sugar, teriyaki sauce, fish sauce, vinegar, sweet chili sauce.
Heat a large skillet or wok until very hot. Add the remaining 1/3 cup of oil and heat until smoking. Add the meat and cook over high heat undisturbed for 1 minute, until browned. Turn the meat and cook for 1 minute longer. Tilt the skillet and spoon off all but 1 tablespoon of oil.
Scatter the scallions, mushrooms, asparagus and garlic over the meat and cook for about 1 minute. Stir the soy mixture and add it to the pan, shaking to coat the meat; bring to a boil, continue cooking for another minute to reduce sauce slightly.   Stir in cashews.
Line a platter with steamed jasmine rice and pour the beef, vegetables, and sauce on top.
