Cold Asparagus with a Chinese Dressing
Recipe from Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian
You won't believe how delicious this simple recipe is. The asparagus is
barely cooked and retains its bright green color.
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimed, cut into thirds at a slight angle, and
left to soak in water for 15 minutes
For the dressing:
- 4 tsp. soy sauce
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. Chinese Shao Hsing wine or dry sherry (I used mirin)
- 2 tsp. red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp. dark sesame oil
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and lightly crushed but whole
Drain the asparagus. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and put the asparagus
in for just one minute. Drain and run under cold water. Drain
again. Leave in a colander.
Mix all the ingredients for the dressing. Just before serving, put the
asparagus into a bowl. Remove the garlic from the dressing and toss the
dressing with the asparagus.
