Steps:
- Snap off and discard the tough bottoms of each asparagus spear. If using large thick asparagus, peel the lower ends with a vegetable peeler. Medium asparagus will not need peeling.
- Bring a medium saucepan half filled with water to a boil, carefully add the eggs and simmer briskly for 9 minutes (10 minutes for a slightly firmer yolk). Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Shell the eggs and set aside.
- Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, place the shallots, vinegar and a pinch of salt. Let shallots soften for 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard to dissolve, then whisk in the olive oil to make a thick dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- In a large stainless-steel soup pot bring 4 quarts of well-salted water to a rolling boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until just done. Remove asparagus with a large strainer and spread out on a baking sheet lined with a clean kitchen towel. Asparagus may be served warm or at room temperature.
- To serve, place asparagus on a platter or individual plates. Spoon the vinaigrette over the asparagus. Garnish with quartered eggs (or roughly chop the eggs if you prefer). Sprinkle with chives.

ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH SOY-MUSTARD DRESSING
There are real differences between skinny and fat asparagus spears, aside from appearance, and it's worth attending to them. With either, you must first break off the woody bottoms (magically, they snap off in pretty much the right place every time), a quick but necessary chore. But it is always worth peeling thick asparagus, from stem to the bottom of the flower bud. The best way to do this is with a vegetable peeler. Lay each spear on a flat surface and give it a few quick strokes. The difference between peeled and unpeeled thick spears is substantial. When they are peeled, they can be cooked for considerably less time, leaving them bright green and perfectly crisp-tender, rather than a soggy mess. They're done when you can easily insert a skewer or a thin-bladed knife into the thickest part of the stalk. (If you don't peel them, the soggy mess is just about the only way to get the skin tender.)

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook asparagus just until bright green but tender, up to 4 or 5 minutes for thicker spears. Drain and immediately rinse with cold water (or, better still, plunge into ice water). Drain again and set aside. (You can wrap asparagus and refrigerate for up to a day at this point. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
- Whisk together mustard, egg yolks, soy sauce, lemon juice and just enough olive oil (start with a tablespoon) to make a smooth dressing. Toss with asparagus and serve.

Tips:
- Choose fresh asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green, firm, and have tight tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, limp, or have brown spots.
- Trim the asparagus. Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by bending the spear until it snaps naturally, or by using a knife to cut off the bottom inch or two.
- Cook the asparagus properly. Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and grilling. The best way to cook asparagus depends on your personal preferences. However, it is important to not overcook the asparagus, as this will make it mushy.
- Make the mustard dill sauce ahead of time. The mustard dill sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you are ready to serve the asparagus.
- Serve the asparagus immediately. Asparagus is best served hot or warm. If you are serving it cold, be sure to chill it thoroughly before serving.
Conclusion:
Asparagus with Mustard Dill Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the mustard dill sauce is creamy and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
