This is my favorite way to prepare asparagus. I try other recipes, but always come back to this one. It's also super fast to prepare, which is always nice.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Snap off tough ends of Asparagus. Remove scales if desired.
  2. 2
    Cover & cook Asparagus in a small amount of boiling water for 2 minutes or until crisp-tender.
  3. 3
    Drain & rinse with cold water (I throw some ice cubes on top of them to stop the cooking).
  4. 4
    Combine Vinegar, Sesame Oil, & Sesame Seeds in large Zip-Lock bag.
  5. 5
    Add Asparagus.
  6. 6
    Chill 2 hours, turining occasionally.
  7. 7
    I double the recipe with 1 lb of Asparagus. Sometimes I cut back on the Red Wine Vinegar if I cooked the Asparagus too long.

This pairs well with grilled salmon. I normally am not a huge fan of asparagus, would eat a little bit just so I can say I did. But this recipe makes me want to eat a bunch, and the leftovers are even better!

    This is fabulous! I wanted a chilled side dish for dinner. I had fresh asparagus and the other ingredients. Preparation was quick and easy. Thanks, Sashacrab. I will make this again and again
