White Asparagus Steam

This is the season for white and green asparagus. Always wanted to try out white asparagus since it is so cheap here. Until that day my hub told me a colleague taught him how to prepare it. However when i search internet there are also other ways of eating..

You can either blanched or steam the asparagus. Removed and sprinkled with salt and spread with olive oil. Serve and eat hot.

In this recipe, i steam it so to preserve the nutrients in it. So before preparing, you have to peel away the tough skin on the stalks. Rinse and cut as shown. Put to steam for 15 minutes. Removed and served with mayonaise and dash of sesame/olive oil. Sprinkled with some sesame seeds..eh voila the dish is ready.

I always like to adopt the west meets east cooking style. So next time i can purchase more white asparagus and experimenting it more ways..
