- 1
Peel the tough ends of the asparagus stalks. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the asparagus for about 2 minutes. (You can use a skillet to save time.)
- 2
Once cooked, quickly rinse the asparagus under cold water to stop the cooking and keep the color bright. Slice diagonally into thin pieces.
- 3
Grind the black sesame seeds, then add the soy sauce, sugar, and mirin to make the sesame sauce. You can use pre-ground sesame seeds if you prefer.
- 4
Just before serving, toss the asparagus with the sesame sauce.
