Sprinkle with black pepper, this easy bacon and asparagus stir-fry is one of my favorite dishes in the summer. The freshness of the ingredients are key to the success of this dish. And all you need are Asparagus, Bacon and Garlic.
As a foodie, I try to make my food not only tastes good but also looks appealing. When cutting the asparagus ( after snapping the ends off) , I positioned my knife at around a 30-degree angle to the cutting board and then slice the spears cross, this is how the asparagus would have a angled edge.
Below is a summary of how I made this dish with pictures.
I hope you enjoy making this tasty bacon and asparagus at home. If you like this recipe, please give a rating and share it with your friends!

Okay, I haven’t even made this recipe but I’m giving it 5 stars already. My mother has been serving up this dish for years and it’s my all-time favourite meal. Asparagus is in season at the moment where I live but it is on the expensive side. I can’t wait to make this tonight. I love my asparagus half cooked, too cooked is like eating mushy peas.
My husband and I ate this for a quick healthy Keto dinner last week, having it again tonight. Very tasty!
I am glad you guys liked this recipe 🙂
