Wait? Did Paris Hilton squeeze her skinny, stupid, flesh-baring little soul into my husband? After I made this sriracha and ginger asparagus, I thought so. Turns out, my husband was just getting all excited about the delightful heat on these crisp, tasty veggies. I served them alongside pork chops and sweet potatoes, to give a nice balance to their heat. I suggest you give them a try immediately. They're totally delicious, and oh. so. easy.
Ingredients:
one large bunch of asparagus, cleaned and trimmed
1 tbsp ginger oil
1/2 tsp sriracha
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
small drizzle of honey
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp salt
freshly grated lemon zest
Directions:
heat ginger oil in a wok
add garlic and sautee quickly
add asparagus and spices and honey (except lemon zest)
cook 10-12 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly
remove from heat and top with lemon zest
serve

I love a little heat in my food. It makes veggies taste much better.
Sounds good...and hot! I don't really like asparagus (long long story dating back to childhood)but I do eat it when seasoned well.
"like that's Hot"
She sooo erks me!

You are too funny! These sound great! I LOVE Sriracha!
The thought of "that's hot" just made me laugh! I'm a wimp with spice as, well, it is a family show. Spice doesn't agree with me, but my hubby loves thing hot.

I love your preparation of aspargus with sriracha and ginger, excellent!
Oh how original and hot this is! hottie vegetable.I love it!
LOL, so you'd say that this is too hot for kids? Mine like spicy but not necessarily hot.
I'm betting green beans would be mighty tasty dressed like this.

Lol, I was getting concerned for your husband back there :) Heat is the best way to encourage the appetite, especially for veggies, heh :)
What an interesting recipe Heather, never thought of adding ginger or nutmeg to asparagus.... I'm intrigued.
You know that you got me addicted to sriracha, right? I am glad you are posting some new recipes using the stuff!! I love it and this recipe is PERFECT!!
Oooh, a very different flavor for asparagus!
I hope you had a good Thanksgiving!
Thank you for reminding me I have to get off my grill and starting using my poor wok. I love it more than anything but just well neglect it constantly.
p.s. Paris Hilton makes me want to rib my eyes and ears off.
What a delicious recipe! Ill be sure to give this one a try.

I´m spanish woman, I´m sorry, my english is no so good.
Congratulations for your blog. This recipes is very interesting; yesterday I made a soup with asparagus. I´ll follow your blog.
Missing you, Heather! I took a break from blogging too, but now I'm back. Hope to see you posting again soon.
My husband loves siracha on everything. I bought a huge one from a nearby Asian market. No matter what I cook there is a dot of siracha that he places on his plate.
I keep popping back to see whether you have resurfaced! I hope you are OK and happy.
asparagus, siracha, lemon, garlic and ginger...you got all the best flavors in this dish! Yummy!
