Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon white wine or dry sherry
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 3 small garlic cloves, smashed
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups asparagus, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup parsnips, thinly sliced
  • ¾ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas, strings removed
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup thinly sliced scallions
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Makes 4 servings.

Recipe

  1. In a small cup, combine the wine and soy sauce. Heat a 14-inch, flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in the oil, add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and stir-fry for 10 seconds or until fragrant.
  2. Add the asparagus and parsnips, sprinkle on salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 1 minute, until the asparagus is bright green.
  3. Add the peas and tomatoes, swirl the prepared wine mixture into the wok, add the scallions, and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove from heat, sprinkle on cheese, and stir until cheese begins to melt.
