-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1 tablespoon light sesame or peanut oil

2 teaspoons dark sesame oil

1 pound fresh asparagus -- trimmed

peeled and cut diagonally into 1-inch

pieces

1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar -- (or lemon juice)

1 teaspoon soy sauce -- up to 2, or to taste

 

Serves 2 to 4.

 

Turn this simple stir-fry into an easy dinner with the addition of tofu,

and serve on a bed of Asian noodles or white rice.

 

In a large skillet or wok, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat, shaking

the pan about 1 minute or until the seeds are pale brown and

nutty-smelling. Remove and set aside.

 

Add the oils to the pan and warm over medium heat, then add the asparagus

and stir-fry for about 1 to 2 minutes or until the asparagus begins to

soften. Add the rice wine vinegar and soy sauce, and continue to stir-fry

for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until tender but still crisp. Serve

sprinkled with the toasted sesame seeds.
