Ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, and a touch of oyster sauce give this asparagus dish lots of flavor and texture. It takes less than 20 minutes to make and is a hearty side that fully makes use of just a few ingredients. Feel free to adjust the red pepper flakes depending on your heat tolerance, or even add some Sriracha or hot sauce if you prefer instead. This recipe works with broccoli, leeks, or green beans if asparagus isn't in season or you don't have any handy. We used chicken broth to add a bit more richness, but some vegetable broth or water is fine, too.
