Ingredients
-
• 1-1/2 to 2 lbs. young, fresh asparagus
• 4 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seed oil
Directions
Discard tough ends of asparagus. Slice remaining stalks into 1 inch lengths, using the roll-cut method: that is, making a diagonal slice through one end of the stalk, then rolling the stalk a quarter turn and slicing again. There should be about 3 cups of asparagus pieces.
Wash asparagus under cold running water and parboil the pieces by dropping them into 2 quarts of rapidly boiling water for 1 minute. Drain at once, and run cold water over the asparagus to stop the cooking and to set their color. Spread them on a double thickness of paper towels and pat completely dry.
In a small glass bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar and sesame seed oil, and mix until sugar is dissolved. Add the asparagus and toss to coat each piece thoroughly with the dressing.
Serving Size: 4 servings (salad only); 6-8 servings (as a side dish)
Prep. Time: 10 minutes Chill Time: Chill slightly before serving (less than 2 hours)
Number of Servings: 4
