Stir-fried Asparagus and Scallops with Belacan

This is one of my favourite dish. I will always cook this, with or without seafood, whenever I can get the thick asparagus.  I just can't get the same kick with the thin Thai asparagus. 

I wished that the price for these asparagus is more affordable though. It's such an expensive dish to cook.

Ingredients:

• 6 Asparagus, skinned and sliced
• 4 Scallops, sliced half
• 2 clove Garlic, minced
• 2 Shallot, sliced
• 1 Chilli, seed and julienned
• 1 teaspoon Belacan, chopped
• 1/2 tablespoon Cooking Oil

How to do it:

1. Saute garlic and shallot in oil till fragrant.
2. Add in chilli, belacan and dried shrimp.
3. Stir fry for about a minute.
4. Add in scallops and stir-fry till almost cooked.
5. Dished the scallops and set aside.
6. In the same wok, add in asparagus and stir fry till the colour of the asparagus turned a dark shade of green or almost cooked. 
7. Add in the previously cooked scallops. 
8. Continue cooking till the scallops are cooked thoroughly.
9. Add a pinch of salt to taste if necessary.
10. Dish and serve immediately.

Note:
You may like to replace scallops with prawns or squids.
