A vibrant and flavorful vegetable stir-fry with a hint of sesame and lime.
Heat the sesame oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until hot.
Using a hot pan ensures the vegetables cook quickly and retain their crunch.
Add the sesame seeds, asparagus, ginger, shallot, and garlic to the pan and stir-fry for about 1 minute.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the bean sprouts and red bell pepper to the pan and stir-fry for another minute.
Cut the bell pepper into thin strips for even cooking.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the soy sauce and lime juice. Toss thoroughly to combine.
Adjust the soy sauce and lime juice to your taste preference.
Serve the stir-fry warm, garnished with additional sesame seeds if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and crisp texture.
