Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information.

Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Chenin Blanc are great choices for Asian. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. The Thomas Schmitt Estate Riesling Kabinett with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Moderately light-bodied with aromas of Granny Smith apples, our Kabinett is crisp and lively on the palate. Perfect on its own or as a complement to mild cheeses, salads, shellfish and poultry.

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in the large non-stick pan (do not allow it to smoke). (To test if the oil is hot enough, throw in one mustard seed if the oil is ready, it should sizzle and rise to the top straight away) When hot add the mustards seeds and fry until they sizzle, and add the cumin seeds and fry for 3-4 seconds.
  2. Turn the heat to medium and add the onions, ginger and fry stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or so until the shallots are a light golden colour. Add the sugar, lime juice, chili powder and salt. Once the sugar has dissolved, toss the asparagus in the pan along with a sprinkling of water to help them steam. Cover and cook for 5-6 minutes until the asparagus is tender. (The timing may vary depending on the thickness of the spears) you can test with a skewer to check for this)
