ASPARAGUS WITH SESAME OIL VINAIGRETTE
This is the Runner-Up recipe for 1987 in the San Francisco Chronicle. Because sesame oil is such an integral part of the dressing, be sure you use fresh oil of the highest quality. This asparagus makes a perfect accompaniment to grilled, broiled or fried salmon fillets or steak. Toasted sesame seeds sprinkled over the asparagus just before serving are a nice touch. Other vegetables, such as green beans, work well with this dressing. From Bruce Cost.

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Asparagus: Select vibrant green asparagus spears with tightly closed tips. Avoid limp or woody stalks.
- Trim Asparagus Properly: Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, which is typically the bottom 1-2 inches. This ensures a tender and edible portion.
- Blanch Asparagus if Desired: Blanching asparagus briefly in boiling water enhances its color and texture. Plunge the asparagus into boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Make-Ahead Vinaigrette: Prepare the sesame vinaigrette dressing ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Toast Sesame Seeds: Toasting sesame seeds intensifies their nutty flavor. Place them in a dry skillet over medium heat and toast until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Serve Immediately: Sesame asparagus with vinaigrette is best enjoyed immediately after preparation to maintain its鮮脆口感 and flavor.
