While the asparagus are cooking, give attention to the garlic and shallots. Peel them and cut them into quarters. Heat the remaining oil in a wok pan. Add the shallots and garlic to it. Fry until the vegetables turn golden. Add 4 tablespoon water and let them simmer for around fifteen minutes or when they soften. Increase the heat and boil enough to make half the liquid evaporate. Add the vinegar now and bring the liquid to boil again.
