Garlic Asparagus
Garlic Butter Asparagus is delicious when stir fried
The Garlic Asparagus dish is Chandra's Penang Food favorite dish. One of our own family created dish after having eating Eurasian food one day. To me it is the best stir fried Asparagus dish. Simple yet nutritious. The kids loves them!
He would never failed to remind me to cook this dish for him. Asparagus fried with sambal belachan is yet another dish I love. I do not mind having asparagus blanched in hot water and dripped over garlic oil and butter.
So much so that my daughter, when she comes home to visit us, she brings asparagus home. Or if I forgot to purchase it for any festive occasion, he would go and get it. Luckily I did not dreamed of Garlic Asparagus in my sleep.
It has to be cooked for any family function. According to Chandra, the freshness and crunchy asparagus is his vegetable of choice. Green and fresh, he would watch when I cooked it. Why, he would put more butter in after I have finished cooking and seeing the melted butter sipping through the hot dish makes his day.
