Easy & delicious. Not really necessary to do the ice-water dunk but I tend to like my veggies hot. Just cook right before serving. My 4 year old couldn't get enough!

"My husband and I eat a lot of Asian food; we like it to be very spicy with something cooling--like cucumber salad with fresh mint--on the side. This has become our favorite asparagus recipe." -CL Reader
