I'm really learning to love asparagus this year! It started last year with the cajun barbecue asparagus from my ebook, and I'm genuinely starting to get the hang of them 😍 I noticed that I truly enjoy their taste when they're grilled, as it brings out their umami flavor, which makes me want to pair them with teriyaki sauce sometime soon 😮

I absolutely loved this salad with the sauce inspired by wafu dressing, the freshness of the orange and grated carrot...

Steps

Cut off the ends of the asparagus. Remove the largest scales along the stem. Wash them.
In a frying pan, heat 2 tbsp of neutral oil. Cook the asparagus in it.
When they are golden, pour 1 cup of water (250 mL) and let it cook for a few minutes so the water evaporates. Season with salt.
Heat a pot of water. When it starts boiling, add the rice vermicelli. Let it cook for 3 minutes, then drain.
Peel and grate the carrots.
Remove the skin from the oranges and collect the segments of flesh.
Prepare the sesame sauce: mix all the ingredients together.
In a salad bowl, mix the spinach and vermicelli, add the carrots, oranges, and asparagus. Serve with sesame sauce.
