Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 lb asparagus spear
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce (I use lite)
2 teaspoons gingerroot, chopped
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

Snap off tough ends of asparagus.
Place asparagus spears and water in a shallow microwave dish.
Cover and microwave at HIGH 2 to 4 minutes (I just steam mine) or until asparagus is crisp-tender; drain.
Return to dish.
Combine vinegar and next 3 ingredients in a small bowl; stir with a whisk until mixture is blended.
Pour vinegar mixture over asparagus, turning asparagus to coat.
Cover and marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours, tuning asparagus occasionally.

Tips:

Choose thin asparagus spears: Thicker spears tend to be more fibrous and less tender.
Trim the asparagus properly: Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus, usually about 1-2 inches from the bottom.
Marinate the asparagus for at least 30 minutes: This allows the flavors to penetrate the asparagus and makes it more flavorful.
Cook the asparagus until it is tender but still crisp: Overcooked asparagus becomes mushy and loses its flavor.
Serve the asparagus immediately: Asparagus is best served fresh and hot.

Conclusion:

Asian marinated asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. It is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The marinade gives the asparagus a wonderful flavor that is both savory and slightly sweet. The asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, including grilling, roasting, or stir-frying. No matter how you choose to cook it, Asian marinated asparagus is sure to be a hit.
