Ingredients
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 Tbsp. sake
- 1 lb. asparagus
Directions
-
Crush the walnuts in a food processor or suribachi, leaving small chinks. Add the soy sauce, sugar, and sake and blend for 10 seconds; just until well combined.
-
Trim and discard the woody bottom portions of the asparagus stalks. Cut them into 1 3/4 inch pieces. Steam the asparagus for no longer than 2 minutes. You’ll know its perfectly cooked when you smell its faint aroma escaping from the steamer.
-
Rinse it with cold water and drain. For each serving, arrange stems and tips in a mound, with tips aiming upward. Drizzle with the dressing, and serve.
