- Smaller, thinner young asparagus will cook more quickly and also be more tender. Thicker asparagus stalks tend to be tougher and take longer to fry.
- When the asparagus is done, the stalks should be tender and the ends should be crispy and golden.
- Fancy it up with a garnish of nuts, shredded parmesan, and/or fresh herbs.
