Ginger Sesame Asparagus - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb asparagus
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce or 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1/2 teaspoon bottled chopped ginger or 1/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon hot chili-garlic sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Preparation

Snap tough ends from asparagus and discard.
Boil water over high heat in a large frying pan.
Add Asparagus to boiling water (or alternatively, you can steam the asparagus, which I prefer to do as it stays crunchy).
Boil for 3 minutes, drain immediately and set aside.
While asparagus cooks or steams, stir teriyaki with ginger and chili-garlic sauce in a small bowl.
Return pan with asparagus to burner and reduce heat to medium.
Add teriyaki mixture.
Stir often until asparagus is tender-crisp and evenly coated with sauce, 1 to 3 minutes.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
