STIR-FRIED ASPARAGUS AND SESAME SEEDS (WEIGHT WATCHERS)

Stir-Fried Asparagus and Sesame Seeds (Weight Watchers) image

I've had this recipe for years, and I finally tried it. This is a tasty way to make asparagus. I skipped the oriental sesame oil, and it still went along nicely with my Grilled Shrimp Scampi. Recipe courtesy of Weight Watchers Smart Choice Recipe Collection.

Time 25m

Yield 1 1/3 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon reduced sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup scallion, minced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
5 1/2 cups asparagus (cut in 2 inch pieces)
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
2 teaspoons oriental sesame oil

Steps:

In a small bowl, blend the chicken broth and soy sauce with the corn starch.
In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil until hot but not smoking.
Add the scallions, ginger, and garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant or about 30 seconds.
Add the asparagus and stir-fry until the asparagus turns bright green, about 1 minute.
Add the broth mixture and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until the sauce has thickened.
Cover and steam over medium-high heat until the asparagus is crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, stir the sesame seeds over medium heat until toasted (I put mine in the microwave for a minute instead). This will take 2 to 4 minutes on the stove.
Add the sesame oil to the asparagus and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
Sprinkle the asparagus with the sesame seeds and serve.

STIR- FRIED SESAME ASPARAGUS

Stir- Fried Sesame Asparagus image

Quick, easy, and delicious! I love asparagus and usually just roast it with olive oil and kosher salt. However, I cook it so often in the spring that my family starts to tire of eating it the same way, so I must look for other ways to prepare it. We really enjoyed it cooked this way.
