How to Make Asian Inspired Asparagus
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch for 2-3 minutes, until bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- While the asparagus is cooling, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a small bowl.
- Drain the asparagus thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.
- Add the asparagus to the sauce and toss gently to coat.
- Serve immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds.
