Fried Asparagus

Directions

1. 1
   Cut the woody stems from each piece of asparagus.
2. 2
   Mix cornflour, celery salt, and savory. Add or substitute other seasonings as desired.
3. 3
   Whisk one egg thoroughly. Dip each asparagus stalk in the egg wash, then roll in flour mixture.
4. 4
   Heat corn oil in a small pan on medium-high. CAREFULLY lower asparagus stalks into hot oil to avoid spattering. Make sure asparagus stalks aren't touching and are only in a single layer in the pan.
5. 5
   Fry each stalk until it turns golden brown, then turn over with tongs to fry the other side. Remove asparagus using tongs, and place on a paper towel to soak excess grease. Add salt if desired.
