Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and finely diced (optional)
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 pounds fat asparagus
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup slivered scallions
Squeeze of lime juice, to taste
Mint leaves, for garnish
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: In a small bowl, stir together rice vinegar, ginger, garlic and brown sugar. Add jalapeño and sesame oil, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Snap or cut off the tough bottoms of each asparagus spear. With a vegetable peeler, peel each tough-skinned spear, starting halfway down from tip and peeling toward bottom end.

Season with salt and pepper and toss lightly. Add the ginger dressing and toss to coat well. Taste and adjust. Add scallions and lime juice and toss again.
  • Garnish with mint leaves and cilantro sprigs. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.

Grilled Mahi Mahi Fillets and Asparagus with Orange and Sesame image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 portions, 6 to 8 ounces each, mahi mahi fillets
Salt and pepper
2 limes, juiced
3 tablespoons dark tamari soy sauce
2 inches fresh ginger root, grated, about 1 1/2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
20 blades fresh chives, chopped or 3 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
1 to 1 1/4 pounds thin asparagus spears
2 navel oranges
1-inch fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat grill pan to over medium high to high heat. Season mahi mahi fillets with salt and pepper. Combine the lime juice, dark soy, ginger and a little vegetable or canola oil in a shallow dish. Turn the mahi mahi in the citrus soy marinade and let it hang out for 10 minutes. Grill on hot grill pan for 6 minutes per side for a 1-inch fillet or until fish is firm and opaque.
  • Take 1 spear of asparagus and hold it at each and. Bend the asparagus until it snaps and breaks. Use this spear as your guide on where to trim the ends of your bundle of spears. Using a peeler, make thin long strips of orange zest from both oranges. Cut the ends off the zested oranges and stand them up right on a cutting board. Remove the pith in strips using sharp knife and cutting down from the top of the orange. Discard the pith. When the oranges are both peeled and trimmed, turn them on their sides and slice into 1/4-inch rounds, cross sectioning the whole. Set the orange disks aside. In a skillet with a cover, bring 1-inch water to a boil with the zest of the oranges and grated fresh gingerroot. Allow the orange zest and ginger to simmer for at least 1 minute then add salt and asparagus spears. Simmer the spears 3 to 5 minutes until just tender. Drain the asparagus. Discard the orange zest and ginger. Assemble a few spears on each dinner plate, layering them back and forth, crisscrossing the spears over orange slices. Sprinkle sesame seeds over asparagus and oranges and top with 1 portion of grilled mahi mahi. Garnish assembled fish and asparagus with chopped or thinly sliced chives.

SESAME ASPARAGUS

Categories     Pepper     Side     Sauté     Low Carb     Low Fat     Vegetarian     Low Cal     Asparagus     Spring     Bon Appétit     Sugar Conscious     Vegan     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound fresh asparagus, ends trimmed, each stalk cut diagonally into thirds
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon oriental sesame oil
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • Cook asparagus in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain. Rinse asparagus under cold water. Drain well. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap in paper towels and chill.)
  • Heat vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and stir 1 minute. Add asparagus and sauté until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add soy sauce and sesame oil; toss until asparagus and bell pepper are coated, about 1 minute. Transfer to platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tight tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have woody ends.
  • Trim the asparagus. Cut off the tough woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by snapping them off or using a knife.
  • 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 is to blanch it. Blanching is a process of briefly boiling the asparagus in salted water and then immediately transferring it to an ice bath. This stops the cooking process and helps the asparagus retain its bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your dish will taste. When possible, use organic ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus. Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and bland.
  • Season the asparagus to taste. Asparagus can be seasoned with a variety of spices and herbs, such as salt, pepper, garlic, lemon, and Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Orange Ginger Sesame Asparagus is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. This dish is also very easy to make and can be prepared in just a few minutes. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give Orange Ginger Sesame Asparagus a try. You won't be disappointed!
