Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons sherry or reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Method

  • In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Place asparagus in a shallow 1-1/2-qt. microwave-safe dish. Drizzle with half of the sauce; toss to coat.
  • Cover and microwave on high for 4-6 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Drizzle with remaining sauce. Serve immediately.
