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 asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp, wilted, or have brown or yellow spots.
- Trim the asparagus: Snap off the tough, woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can also use a knife to cut off the ends.
- Blanch the asparagus (optional): Blanching the asparagus before sautéing it helps to preserve its color and crispness. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use high-quality sesame oil: Sesame oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a high-quality oil. Look for sesame oil that is dark in color and has a nutty aroma.
- Toast the sesame seeds: Toasting the sesame seeds before adding them to the dish enhances their flavor and aroma. To toast the sesame seeds, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and cook, stirring constantly, until they are golden brown and fragrant.
- Serve immediately: Sautéed asparagus is best served immediately, while it is still hot and crisp. You can garnish the dish with additional sesame seeds, if desired.
Conclusion:
Sautéed asparagus with sesame seeds is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The asparagus is tender-crisp and flavorful, and the sesame seeds add a nutty crunch and flavor. This dish is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give sautéed asparagus with sesame seeds a try!
