Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 This is my favorite way to prepare asparagus. Asparagus Namul (Korean) 2 lbs. asparagus spears 8 cups mildly salted water 2 tsps. sugar 2 tsps. toasted sesame seeds, crushed 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. soy or tamari sauce 1/4 tsp. sesame oil 1 T. vegetable oil dash of black pepper Soak asparagus in water to cover. Rinse and drain. Break off tough stem area. Wash again and drain well. Cut asparagus at an angle into 1-inch slices. Bring 8 cups of water to a rapid boil. Parboil asparagus for one minute. Plunge into ice cold water immediately. Run cold water over asparagus and swish around until every piece is cold. Drain well. Place asparagus in a salad bowl and add remaining ingredients, gently toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve this dish cold. Very nice side dish for spring and summer months.
