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.
