Prepare asparagus. Wash and clean asparagus nicely in running water. Once dry, cut them about 2" from the bottom to chop off the woody part.
Prepare mushrooms. Always pick firm, fresh, and dry mushrooms. Remove the stem and peel the outer skin.
Sautee and season. Heat a nonstick pan or cast-iron skillet on medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and season with salt, garlic paste, oil, and chili flakes.
Cook until tender. Mix well and cook for 5-6 minutes until asparagus are soft and tender.
Garnish and serve. Once both the vegetables are cooked, garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
In the hot pan, spread the mushrooms in a single layer and cook each side for 2 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
