1 bundle Somen Noodles
1 cup
Dulcet
Asian Dressing & Sauce
1 tsp dried crushed red chilies
2 green onions, sliced on the diagonal
1 tsp black sesame seeds*
Cut the asparagus on the diagonal into 1 and inch pieces.
Place the water in a large sauté pan or wok over high heat.
When the water starts to boil, add the asparagus and cook for 3
minutes, or until all the water is evaporated.
Add the
Dulcet Asian Dressing & Sauce and continue to cook over high heat
for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken and
caramelize.
Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
Serves 2-4
The bigger the sauté pan the better, don't crowd the asparagus so it will
cook more quickly. Make sure all the water is evaporated from the pan before
adding the sauce; this will prevent the sauce from becoming diluted from
the water and the asparagus from being over cooked.
