Oh my goodness! How could spring come upon us without a few asparagus recipes! Thanks for reminding me, DScottD, and I must say also that it is wonderful to see your name here. Here is a quasi-Asian dish from an old Too Many Tomatoes cookbook. It looks really good, because I love sesame seeds as much as I do asparagus: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sesame Chicken with Asparagus Serves 4-6 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons sherry 1 tablespoon oil 1 clove garlic, minced (I would use ten or twelve) 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger, or 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger Bone chicken (or use skinless boneless breasts). Cut chicken into 1 1/2 pieces. Mix all the above ingredients and marinate chicken in them for at least fifteen minutes. 1/2 cup cornstarch 12 cup sesame seeds 3 tablespoons oil Stir chicken in cornstarch and then roll in sesame seeds. Cook in oil, 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside. 1 pound asparagus Cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces and saute in oil. Add 3 tablespoons water, cover, and steam 3 to 5 minutes, until tender-crisp. 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 chicken bouillon cube 1 1/2 cups milk 2 tablespoons butter Dissolve cornstarch and crush bouillon in milk, add butter and heat, stirring, until thickened. Toasted sesame seeds Place chicken and asparagus in a serving dish. Top with sauce and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Well, that sounds delicious, although not absolutely low fat or anything. If anyone tries it before I do, please let me know whether it tastes good!
