Young Asparagus Mix with Oyster Sauce

I went to one of the markets near our place that sells cooked food. I tried their young asparagus mixed with vegetables and it tasted really good. So I tried to copy it. Too bad I never had the chance to take a photo. :D I only had the photo of the blanched asparagus tips. It was better than the one we bought. Everyone loved it. I was lucky that asparagus was in season and was able to get them for a good buy.

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups young asparagus, bottoms removed, cut into half
1 - 1 1/2 cup carrots, cut into 1"-length strips
1/2 cup young corn
1 bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 medium sliced white onions
1 tbsp. minced garlic
1/3 cuo tofu, sliced and fried
4 pieces of kani or crab sticks, sliced diagonally
4 - 6 pieces crab balls or fish balls or squid balls (or a combination) halved and pre-cooked
1 - 1 1/2 tbsp. oyster sauce
dash of pepper

Saute garlic and onions in 1 tbsp. oil. Add in the carrots and the young asparagus, stir frying continuously until they become bright colored. Add 1/4 cup water mixed with the oyster sauce and pepper. Simmer of a minute or two, then add the remaining of the ingredients. Mix well until everything is coated with the sauce. Serve hot.

Servings: 5-6 persons
