Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not over-blanch the asparagus—more than 1 minute will make it soggy. Be sure to cool it quickly in cold water.
  • When melting butter in the microwave, always cover it with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent splattering.
  • Don’t discard the trimmed tough ends—use them to make broth for a clearer, more flavorful soup.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy asparagus in a new way beyond grilling.
  • Fans of the rich, spicy combination of butter and gochujang.
