Sweet and Spicy Pork and Asparagus

Ingredients

2 lbs Wampler's Farm Sausage

6 tablespoons soy sauce

1/4 cup water

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 cloves garlic minced

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 bunch asparagus trimmed and cut into into 1/2-inch pieces

1 jalapeno seeded and minced

2-3 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

3-4 green onions sliced

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked rice for serving

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, cornstarch and garlic cloves. Add the 2 lbs of Wampler's Farm Sausage and blend.

Heat the sesame oil in a heavy large wok or deep skillet over high heat. Add asparagus, jalapeno, and ginger and red pepper flakes. Cook until asparagus is crisp-tender, approximately 3 minutes. Transfer the asparagus mixture to a plate.

Add the Wampler's Farm Sausage mixture to the pan and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes.

Return asparagus mixture to pan. Stir in rice vinegar. Stir-fry until pork is cooked through, another 3-5 minutes. Add green onions; toss to incorporate. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve over cooked rice.
