Two of spring's best vegetables come together in a winning recipe. The bright green hue of this side dish will liven up any meal. The quickly stir-fried asparagus and peas get some Asian flare with a teriyaki sauce to coat. The last hit of lemon zest brightens the flavors and adds a hint of contrasting color. Ready in about 20 minutes, you can easily have these any night of the week. Serve alongside any grilled meat, poultry, fish or tofu, or make a rice bowl with your protein and rice for a simple bowl of clean comfort.
