Spring Vegetable Stir-Fry
To remove the tough, woody ends of the asparagus, grasp each spear near the cut end with both hands and bend it until it snaps. It will break naturally at the point where the fibrous, inedible portion starts. Use a sharp paring knife to cut the spears into pieces as needed.
