    List of Ingredients




    1-1/2 pounds asparagus, tough stems removed, cut into 1-inch lengths
    1 1/2 tsp. unsalted margarine (or olive oil)
    1 T. sesame seeds
    1 tsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
    1 tsp. Oriental sesame or peanut oil
    1/8 tsp. black pepper

    Recipe



    In a heavy 10-inch skillet, bring an inch of unsalted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook, covered, for 3 minutes or until just tender. Drain in a colander, rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking, and drain again. Set aside.

    In the same saucepan, melt the margarine over moderate heat; add the sesame seeds and cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes or until the seeds are golden.

    Return the asparagus to the pan; add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and pepper, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until the asparagus is heated through. Serves 4.
