Chinese-Style Asparagus

Posted on : 13-01-2010 | By : Dave | In : Recipes, Sides

When I was a kid, asparagus was one of those veggies I just knew I wouldn’t like without even trying it.  When I finally did try fresh asparagus, I couldn’t believe I’d missed out on it for so long.  Here is a very quick and very simple recipe that anyone can prepare! (Recipe courtesy of Mayo Clinic)

Serves 6
Ingredients
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus, woody ends removed and cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths

Directions
In a large saucepan, heat the water, sugar and soy sauce over high heat. Cook until boiling, and then add the asparagus. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the asparagus is tender-crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately.
