Asparagus With Wasabi Mayonnaise


Asparagus With Wasabi Mayonnaise
My wonderful daughter-in-law, Lisa, gave me this recipe and it is incredible. She first made it for our son's birthday while we were visiting. Adjust the amount of wasabi to your personal heat preference.

1lb Asparagus, trimmed
1 cup mayonnaise (can use light)
4 tsp soy sauce
1 ½ tsp sugar
2tsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp wasabi paste

Blanch asparagus in a large skillet of boiling salted water for exactly 1 minute. Transfer to a colander and rinse under cold running water to stop cooking. Drain well and pat dry.

Whisk together all other ingredients until sugar is dissolved. Wow!
