One of the things I like about Gen San is the fact that you just go to the local market and you could get the freshest of asparagus and many other fruits. And they are quite cheap. Back in Los Baños, asparagus spears are so expensive I rarely buy them. Much like cleaning the office, moving office furniture, which I rarely do! And they are not as fresh back home. So each week, one of the staples in my basket is a bunch or two of fresh asparagus. The simplest way to cook them? Asparagus with garlic and oyster sauce.

To cook, heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan. Add a bunch 0f asparagus spears and pan-fry till soft. Add 2-3 cloves of garlic sliced cross-wise.Add freshly ground black pepper then 2-3 tablespoon of oyster sauce. Stir a few times. Turn of heat then drizzle with sesame oil. This is ready to serve.

Thanks for reading my blog. I'm a corn breeder who also loves to eat and cook. Most of the recipes in this blog are dishes that I have cooked in my own kitchen. This blog is an off shoot way way back in 2007 when as PhD student, I had a major writer's block for writing my dissertation. So instead I turned into blogging my exploits in the kitchen. I've come long way then. getting my PhD and currently cooking in my third kitchen so far. My dog, named Pasta and I are based in Phitsanulok, Thailand.
