Tossed Asparagus With Sesame Seeds

 

1 pound asparagus

2 teaspoons sesame seeds

1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil

2 teaspoons sesame oil

1 teaspoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon light soy sauce

1/4 teaspoon sugar

 

Snap off and discard the tough ends of asparagus. Cut

stalks into 1-inch lengths on the diagonal. Bring a

medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the

asparagus and cook until tender-crisp, about 3

minutes. Drain in a colander and then immediately

rinse with cold water to cool. Pat dry with paper

towels.

Place the sesame seeds in a small skillet and toast

over medium-low heat, tossing occasionally, until

golden, about 5 minutes. Reserve.

Stir the remaining ingredients together in a small

bowl. Place the asparagus in a shallow ceramic serving

dish, pour on the seasoning mixture, and toss with a

spoon. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and toss again.

Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 2 hours.

Serve cold or at room temperature. Serves 6.
