The easy side dish pairs well with steak, chicken, or fish, but especially pairs well with Asian cuisine.

Like creamed corn and sweet potato casserole, pan-seared asparagus makes the perfect side dish for the holidays, or for any time of year.

Pan-Seared Asparagus Ingredients

First, let’s take a look at the short list of ingredients that you will need to make this easy recipe:

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 bundle asparagus, washed and trimmed
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp water

I used P.F. Chang’s® Home Menu Soy Sauce for this recipe. I love how P.F. Chang’s Home Menu Sauces make it easy to prepare authentic Asian cuisine, right at home. 

Pan Seared Asparagus with Soy Sauce and Garlic Recipe

First, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until the garlic begins to turn golden brown, stirring occasionally.

Next, add asparagus, soy sauce, and water to skillet. Roll asparagus to coat and cook evenly.

When asparagus is tender, but firm, remove from heat and serve immediately.

P.F. Chang’s Home Menu Soy Sauce was just what I needed for my easy pan seared asparagus recipe. The sauce is packed with awesome flavor, and it really is the star ingredient in this recipe. You can find the soy sauce in the Asian Foods aisle at Walmart

Ingredients

 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• ▢ 4 garlic cloves minced
• ▢ 1 bundle asparagus rinsed and trimmed
• ▢ 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
• ▢ 2 Tablespoons water

Instructions

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook while stirring occasionally until it begins to turn golden brown, about 1 minute.
• Add asparagus, soy sauce, and water to skillet. Roll asparagus to coat and cook evenly.
• When asparagus is tender, but firm, remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

To trim asparagus, lay the stalks out on a cutting board with the woody ends aligned. Use a large kitchen knife to trim 1-2 inches from the bottom of the asparagus and discard the wooden ends. If you are unsure how much of the ends to trim off you can hold a single spear near the base and bend it gently until it naturally snaps, and use this amount as a guide to trim the rest.

If you have particularly thick asparagus spears with tough skin, you can peel the lower portion using a vegetable peeler to ensure optimal tenderness and texture.

Store leftover soy sauce asparagus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
