Break off the tough ends from the asparagus stalks, and slice them on the

diagonal into 2-inch pieces.

 

Heat the oil and garlic in a large skillet or wok. Stir-fry the asparagus over

medium-high heat until nearly tender-crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the wine or

water, and allow it to evaporate, about 1 minute, to finish cooking the

skillet.

 

Sprinkle with pepper and serve.
