For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds at the end. Ensure the garlic doesn't burn, as it can become bitter. Keep the heat at medium and stir frequently. The asparagus should be bright green and slightly firm. Avoid overcooking it to maintain its texture and flavor.
