My mom made this recipe for my bro’s wedding rehearsal dinner earlier this year, so I made her give it to me. My actual email just said “GIMME” cause I’m a loving and wonderful daughter.
Anyway, blanching the asparagus helps them keep a nice bright green color, and the marinade is the perfect mixture of salty and sweet. I sprung and picked up some roasted sesame seeds too.
Onward to delicious Sweet Sesame Chilled Asparagus (I just made that name up)
Wash and snap or cut off ends. In boiling water - blanche asparagus 30 sec. and then immediately run under ice cold water. Or microwave in 1/2 + inch of water - covered - just enough to get to crisp tender. (1 minute and then smaller second increments until crisp/tender.) Again, run under ice cold water.
Marinade:
3 Tbls. Soy sauce
2 Tbls. Sesame oil
1 Tbls. Gran. sugarSesame seeds - white (and black if you can find and afford them!)
Soak the asparagus for 15-30 mins before serving.
Serve chilled!
I will be bringing this, and some mashed red potato recipe (that I’m sorta making up) to Mat’s on Thursday to share with a bunch of friends and strangers… Plus Apples to Apples.

Question. How can you get 1000 dollars worth of free downloads?
Congress is very close to passing the Local Community Radio Act, but they won’t pass it if we don’t bring the noise. In this video, I give my reasons for wanting more local radio now. Tell Congress your reason — and then tell them to pass the Local Community Radio Act.
There are a lot of reasons to want more local low power FM (LPFM) radio stations — what’s yours?
