P F CHANG'S SICHUAN-STYLE ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• The day prior to making this dish, drain and rinse 1 tbsp diced green chilies. Add to a bowl the drained chilies, soy sauce, chili-garlic sauce and rice vinegar. Refrigerate overnight.

• Slice the onion and trim and cut the asparagus spears into thirds. Grate the ginger and chop the garlic.
