Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound asparagus
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 slices fresh ginger -- minced
1 teaspoon black goma
OR black sesame seeds

Wash asparagus, break off and discard tough ends. Cut stalks diagonally in
1-1/2-inch sections. If asparagus is young and tender, blanch stalks by
immersing quickly in boiling water and rinsing immediately under cold
water. Mature asparagus should be parboiled in salted water for 1 minute or
2, removed as soon as it begins to turn bright green, and rinsed
immediately in cold water and drained. Do not blanch or parboil the tips.

Combine broth, soy and sugar. Heat oil on medium-high and, when almost
smoking, add salt and ginger and stir-fry 1 minute. Add asparagus and
stir-fry until heated through. You may have to adjust heat to prevent
scorching. Add broth mixture and heat quickly. Simmer, covered, over medium
heat for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with black goma and serve.
