Ingredients:

A medium bundle of asparagus

1/4 pound pork loin

And entire head of garlic

salt

MSG

small red chilli (optional)

lard

How to Prepare:

Prep: Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus, or peel the lower portions. Cut the asparagus into bite size pieces. Wash them in a bowl of water. Slice the pork into very thin small strips (much easier to do if the pork is slightly frozen). Peel all the garlic cloves and slice thickly. Cook: Heat the wok. Add at least 3 T. lard. Throw the garlic in and stir-fry till slightly browned. Throw in the pork and cook until color changes, the garlic will also hopefully be very browned at this point. Throw in the chilli and about 1/2 teaspoon salt, stir briefly. Throw in the asparagus, add 1/4-1/2 teaspoon MSG, stir-fry a few minutes. Put in about 3/4 cup water, cover and cook until asparagus is just tender. Add more salt to taste. Serve. Be sure to eat the garlic also!
