Cut asparagus on the diagonal into 1-2 inch pieces. Blanch for 5
|
minutes in boiling water. Drain and set aside.
|
|
Wash and slice mushrooms. Set aside.
|
|
Mince the garlic. Rinse the black beans well. Mix garlic and beans
|
together. Set aside.
|
|
Mix together the rice vinegar, tamari, starch, sugar, and sake. Set
|
aside.
|
|
Fill a glass with water and set handy next to the stove. Put a
|
skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, dump the garlic mixture
|
into the pan. Stir fry for one minute, adding water as the mixture
|
begins to stick -- add just a little at time. Add the asparagus and
|
stir fry for 10 minutes (or until asparagus is just shy of being
|
crisp-done), again adding water just as needed. Add mushrooms and
|
stir fry for 2-5 more minutes. Add the vinegar mixture (giving it a
|
last stir to make sure starch is well mixed), stir until evenly
|
coated and sauce thickens. Serve immediately.

Comments:
|
|
Fermented black soybeans are available in Asian markets. Usually
|
labled "salted black beans". I find them in the preserved food
|
section in plastic bags.
