Total time:
Serves: 2
- ½ pound baby asparagus (about half bunch; substitute with regular asparagus)
- 1 tablespoon shio koji (add 1 teaspoon more if necessary to generously coat asparagus)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Wash and trim end of the asparagus spears to remove any tough and chewy stems. At least one inch of the bottom of the stem should be removed.
- In a large glass baking dish, spoon shio koji into the dish and generously coat each asparagus with shio koji.
- Marinate asparagus in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. NOTE: The asparagus can be cooked immediately without marinating it, which I do sometimes.
- In a large pan, heat olive oil and sauté for 7 minutes until asparagus is tender. Cover pan with lid for faster cooking, stirring occasionally.
