Szechwan Asparagus

I remember writing this recipe one day after looking at a bunch of asparagus and wanting a different flavor for it.
      1 bunch asparagus (blanched and cut in 1 in. pieces)
      1 Tbls. veg. oil
      1 Tbls. sesame oil
      1 Tbls.finely chopped garlic
      1 Tsp. finely chopped ginger
      2 Tbls. rice cooking wine
      1 Tsp. soy sauce
      1 Tsp. chili paste
      2 Tbls. chopped fresh cilantro
   In a saute pan, heat oils over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger. Heat   
   till garlic just starts to brown. About 1 min.. Add next three ingredients  and heat through. Add asparagus and heat through. Add cilantro, toss, remove from heat and serve.
    Ciao for now

Will make it again.. your sis cleared her plate... served it with some pistacio encrusted chicken and bow ties with sauteed onions... nice...
