Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons oil or rendered pork or bacon fat
  • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and peeled if necessary
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup not-too-salty miso, preferably white
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
  • 2 poached (or warm-bath-cooked) eggs

Method

  • Put oil or fat in skillet and turn heat to medium-high.
  • Add as much asparagus as will fit in a layer, add salt and pepper to taste, and toss and stir until browned and shriveled, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, over low heat in a small saucepan, warm and whisk together miso and butter, so they combine, and butter softens but does not melt.
  • Whisk in vinegar and keep warm.
  • Warm a serving plate.
  • When asparagus is done, put some miso butter on bottom of serving plate.
  • Blot excess fat from asparagus if you like, put on top of the miso butter, and top with poached eggs.
  • Serve immediately.
