GRILLED SOY-SESAME ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat grill for high heat.
• In a bowl, mix sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and brown sugar. Place asparagus in the bowl, and toss to coat.
• Lightly oil a fine-mesh grill grate. Place asparagus on grate, and cook 8 minutes, until tender but firm. Garnish with sesame seeds to serve.

CRUNCHY SESAME LEMON ASPARAGUS

Steps:

AWESOMELY EASY SESAME ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Fill a large saucepan with 1/2 inch of water and bring to a boil. Cook asparagus until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain, then rinse with cold water. Return pan to the stove over medium heat, pour in oil, and swirl around pan. Shake excess water off of the asparagus, and toss in oil with sesame seeds, and salt to reheat.

SAUTéED ASPARAGUS WITH BUTTER & PARMESAN

Steps:

• Slice the asparagus on a sharp diagonal about 1/2 inch thick, leaving the tips whole. Melt the butter in a large (12-inch) skillet over moderate heat. Add the asparagus and season with the salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the asparagus is just tender, 5 to 6 minutes, lowering the heat if needed to keep the asparagus from browning. Don't overcook; the asparagus will soften a little more as it cools.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the parsley and 3 tablespoons of the cheese. Transfer to a serving bowl, top with the remaining cheese, and serve immediately.

SESAME GARLIC ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• 1. Wash and cut ends from asparagus. I usually cut about 2 1/2 to 3 inches off the bottom to make sure I've cut the stringy, hard end. Cut asparagus into 2 to 3 inch pieces. Set aside.
• 2. Melt butter in pan under medium heat and add minced garlic. Cook about one minute.
• 3. Add asparagus and sauté for about three minutes. Add Italian seasoning and cook for another minute.
• 4. Add bouillon to water and add to pan. Let asparagus simmer over medium to low heat for 3 minutes. Remove from pan and discard liquid. Top with sesame seeds serve immediately.

HONEY SESAME BUTTER

Steps:

• Place the butter in a medium mixing bowl and, with an electric mixer (fitted with the paddle) or wooden spoon, beat until light and fluffy.
• Scrape down the sides.
• Add the honey, sesame oil and sesame seeds and beat to incorporate, scraping down the sides.
• Taste for salt.
• Scrape into a small bowl, serving crock or butter molds and cover tightly or shape into a long roll in grease-proof paper (plastic, wax or parchment) for storing and slicing as needed.
