Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp peanut oil
1 tbsp water
1 tbsp tahini ( pureed sesame seeds)
1 tsp chopped fresh ginger
1 tbsp splenda sugar substitute
1 pinch red pepper flakes
48 medium asparagus spears, trimmed, peeled, and cleaned

Directions:

In a food processor, combine everything except the asparagus and mix thoroughly. Set aside.
Cut the asparagus into 2 inch pieces, on the diagonal.
Fill a large skillet half full of water; cover and bring to a boil. Add the asparagus and simmer just until crisp-tender, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well, but do not rinse.
Transfer to serving bowl. Pour the sauce over the hot asparagus and toss to coat.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Special note: This also works well with fresh green beans.
