This is my favorite way to prepare asparagus. I try other recipes, but always come back to this one. It's also super fast to prepare, which is always nice. Ingredients:
1/2 lb fresh asparagus |
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil |
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted (watch them carefully so they don't burn) |
Directions:
1. Snap off tough ends of Asparagus. Remove scales if desired. 2. Cover & cook Asparagus in a small amount of boiling water for 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. 3. Drain & rinse with cold water (I throw some ice cubes on top of them to stop the cooking). 4. Combine Vinegar, Sesame Oil, & Sesame Seeds in large Zip-Lock bag. 5. Add Asparagus. 6. Chill 2 hours, turining occasionally. 7. I double the recipe with 1 lb of Asparagus. Sometimes I cut back on the Red Wine Vinegar if I cooked the Asparagus too long. |
