Ginger Sesame Asparagus and Shiitake

This stir fried ginger sesame asparagus and shiitake dish is a simple and easy one to pair with any meat or fish dish. I love the combination of fresh shiitake mushrooms with asparagus. In my opinion, it only needs the most basic seasonings to make it taste good. In this dish, the asparagus, mushrooms and onions are simply stir fried together. Garlic, ginger and sesame seeds are added afterward and stir fried until the asparagus is tender. After adding soy sauce and sesame oil, the dish is complete. The result is a simple side dish that is tasty, healthy and easy to make.
