Add the pork and stir fry quickly to brown for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove pork from pan and set aside. Add the other tablespoon of canola oil to the pan. Add asparagus and red pepper and cook for a minute or two until tender-crisp. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
