Microwave Asparagus Salad Recipes
MICROWAVE STEAMED ASPARAGUS TIPS
What I love about this recipe is the ease of preparation. The asparagus comes out still crisp. To make things easier I use a Tupperware microwave steamer and I have a gadget called "Misto" that you put olive oil in to mist your foods. Cooking time includes standing time.

- How to boil asparagus. In a large pot filled with lightly salted boiling water, add 10 asparagus stalks and cook them for 3 minutes, until they are bright green.
- How to steam asparagus. Place the asparagus flat in a bamboo steamer. For medium asparagus, steam for about 6½ to 7 minutes, until the vegetable becomes vibrantly colored.
- How to sauté asparagus. Trim the asparagus so they will fit inside a large pan. Preheat the pan until it is very hot — this is key, said Walsh. Add the trimmed asparagus and 1/2 cup water, and cook for about 4½ to 5 minutes.
- How to stir-fry asparagus. In a large, very hot pan, add 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil and very thin, whole asparagus stalks. Using very thin asparagus is key for this cooking method, said Walsh.
