Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and golden.
  2. Add the prepared asparagus and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir frequently for about 2-3 minutes until the asparagus is bright green and mushrooms begin to soften.
  3. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus is tender yet slightly crunchy and mushrooms are juicy.
  4. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat. Serve warm, optionally with a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of soy sauce.
