Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Vegan Recipes

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound asparagus
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 teaspoons soy sauce (low sodium, if desired)
Dash of toasted sesame oil
Freshly ground black pepper

  • Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet for about 2 minutes over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon peanut oil and half of the asparagus in a single layer.
  • Cook for 3 to 4 minutes without turning. Shake pan occasionally. Turn, and cook 3 minutes more. Asparagus should be bright green with brown spots.

ASPARAGUS SPEARS WITH SESAME

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 small servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt
1 pound fairly thin pencil asparagus, ends trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces
4 tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, white wine vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar. Set aside.
  • Prepare an ice bath: Fill a large bowl halfway with ice cubes and add some cold water. Place a colander squarely inside the ice bath. The colander will keep you from having to pick the asparagus out from amongst the ice cubes in the ice bath.
  • Add salt until the boiling water tastes like seawater. Add the asparagus to the boiling water and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes - you want them to be crunchy. If the asparagus are thin, cook for only 1 minute. Remove the asparagus from the water with a strainer and transfer them to the colander inside the ice bath. Allow them to cool completely for a few minutes and then place them on a kitchen towel to drain any excess moisture.
  • Toss the asparagus, sesame seeds, and the sauce together and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips.
  • Trim the asparagus spears. Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can also use a knife to cut off the ends.
  • Cook the asparagus until it is tender-crisp. Asparagus should be cooked until it is bright green and slightly tender, but still has a bit of a bite to it.
  • Do not overcook the asparagus. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Season the asparagus with salt and pepper. Salt and pepper are the classic seasonings for asparagus, but you can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili flakes.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately. Asparagus is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can drizzle it with olive oil, melted butter, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
