I do love asparagus, but this dressing is delicious with steamed kale or rapini too.
Sesame dressing
• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
• 2 tsp. chopped fresh ginger
• 2 tbs. malt vinegar
• 2 tbs. sesame oil
• 4 tbs, tamari sauce
• 2 tsp. sugar
• 2 tbs. peanut oil
1 lb. asparagus spears, cut into thirds diagonally
1/4 cup sesame seeds
Whisk together all the dressing ingredients.
Prepare a big bowl of ice water to drop the cooked asparagus into..just as you take it off the boil.
Plunge the asparagus in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. It should be cooked to crisp/tender, no more.
Then drop it into an ice water bath to "shock" it and stop the cooking so it doesn't overcook.
Toss the asparagus and some of the dressing together in a pretty dish and top with toasted sesame seeds.
