Tender Crisp Balsamic Sesame Asparagus image

I love asparagus and have gotten picky kids to eat asparagus cooked this way. Takes less than 10 minutes start to finish and the result is a decadant and flavorful bright green veggie. Yum. I'd eat this every night for dinner if DH would go for it.

1 lb asparagus (1 bundle)
1 teaspoon olive oil
