Sommelier’s tip
Chablis
The Chablis is very well balanced. It provides both fruit and minerality – the same as that found in the association of asparagus, mango and ginger. The freshness of the wine is a perfect combination for the intensity of the lime!
Method
Peel the mango and cut into small cubes.
Squeeze the juice of a lime and set aside.
In a wok, heat the sunflower oil over high heat. When hot, add ginger, chopped asparagus and spears. Stir-fry 5 minutes, then reduce heat and add salt, sugar, soy sauce and lime juice. Increase the heat again, and cook until asparagus is crisp-tender, for 5 minutes. Check the seasoning.
Divide the asparagus into small bowls, then add the diced mango and lime zest.
Serve warm.
Chef's Tip

This dish is perfect to accompany crab or lobster.
