Springtime Stir Fry with Scallops and Asparagus

Directions:

Trim or break off asparagus spears at lower ends. Rinse and cut into 2-inch diagonal pieces. Cook asparagus until crisp-tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain and rinse under cold water and set aside.

Combine chicken broth, cornstarch, and soy sauce. Set aside.
Stir-fry halved scallops and mushrooms in oil with garlic until scallops are just cooked through, about 4 minutes.

Stir in cornstarch mixture. Cook, stirring, until sauce thickens. Add drained asparagus, tomatoes, and green onions. Add pepper to taste, heat through, and serve over rice.
