Garlic Miso Asparagus

A delicious way to make asparagus more exciting!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon white miso
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1-2 tablespoons peanut oil or other neutral oil
  • 1 bunch asparagus about 1 pound, tough stalks trimmed
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, miso, sesame oil and rice vinegar to make a thick sauce.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoons of peanut oil over medium high heat. Add the asparagus and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until bright green and just beginning to soften. This will take about 2-3 minutes, depending on the thickness of your asparagus.
  • If the skillet seems dry, add the other tablespoon of peanut oil. Reduce heat to medium and add the garlic. Cook for about a minute, stirring often so garlic is well distributed and doesn't burn.
  • Remove skillet from heat and pour over miso sauce mixture. Stir for another minute or so, just until the sauce is warmed through and coats the asparagus.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
