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.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 7m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

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)

Steps:

  • Snap off tough ends of Asparagus. Remove scales if desired.
  • Cover & cook Asparagus in a small amount of boiling water for 2 minutes or until crisp-tender.
  • Drain & rinse with cold water (I throw some ice cubes on top of them to stop the cooking).
  • Combine Vinegar, Sesame Oil, & Sesame Seeds in large Zip-Lock bag.
  • Add Asparagus.
  • Chill 2 hours, turining occasionally.
  • 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.
