How to Make Fresh Asparagus In Oyster Sauce
- Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus spears.
- Blanch asparagus: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and blanch for 1-2 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Alternatively, microwave on high for 1 minute. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup vegetarian oyster sauce (or regular oyster sauce), 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Heat the sauce: Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, or microwave for 30-45 seconds until heated through.
- Combine and serve: Add the blanched asparagus to the sauce and toss to coat. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
- Optional: Garnish with chopped scallions for added freshness and flavor.
