Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb asparagus cleaned
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds
2 tbsp fresh chives snipped
16 chive blossoms stems removed to separate flowers
1/2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp salt

Directions:

Blanch the asparagus in lightly salted boiling water for about 3 minutes then refresh under very cold water and drain well. In a skillet heat oil over medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Stir for 1 minute then add the snipped chives and stir for 1 minute more. Add the asparagus and soy sauce to the skillet with salt and pepper then stir well, cover and cook for 2 minutes longer. Remove the lid and sprinkle the chive blooms over the asparagus and cover for 2 minutes so that the chive blooms steam briefly. Stir lightly and taste for seasoning. Serve hot.
