ASPARAGUS SPEARS WITH SESAME



Asparagus Spears with Sesame image

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 the right asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, limp, or have brown or yellow spots.
  • Trim the asparagus. Snap off the tough, woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can also use a sharp knife to cut off the ends.
  • Roast the asparagus at a high temperature. This will help to caramelize the sugars in the asparagus and give it a delicious flavor. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit before roasting the asparagus.
  • Use a good quality sesame oil. Sesame oil has a nutty,香气 flavor that will complement the asparagus. Make sure to use a light sesame oil, as dark sesame oil can be too overpowering.
  • Toast the sesame seeds. Toasting the sesame seeds will bring out their flavor and make them more香气. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Roasted asparagus with sesame seeds and sesame oil is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. It is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The asparagus is roasted until tender and slightly caramelized, and the sesame seeds and sesame oil add a nutty,香气 flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
