1 ½ cups sliced asparagus
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced shallot

½ cup diced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Directions:

1. Heat sesame oil in wok or skillet over high heat. When hot, add asparagus, sesame seeds, ginger, garlic, and shallot. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.

2. Add sprouts and bell pepper and cook 1 minute, stirring. Add lime juice and soy sauce, stir to coat, and serve immediately.
