Asparagus with Wasabi-Soy Dipping Sauce

Here is another great recipe from Daria who blogs at Mom In Management.

I have always been a huge fan of wasabi. I love the kick it has! I think Daria’s Wasabi-Soy Dipping Sauce is going to make it’s way into a regular rotation at our house. Because aside from loving wasabi, there’s nothing I love better than a good dipping sauce. I’ve even been known to order certain appetizers from restaurants just because of the great dipping sauces they are served with.

When I first saw Daria’s recipe, I thought that serving it with asparagus was genius. It’s a great way to mask some of that asparagus flavor! (Yes, I’ll admit that asparagus and I are not on the best of terms most of the time.) I think I’d love it served with some steamed or roasted fresh green beans also. Or for a real treat, that wasabi would perfectly complement my Tempura Fried Green Beans.

Asparagus with Wasabi Soy Sauce

Sauce Ingredients:

• ¾ Cup of Mayonaisse
• Squeeze of Wasabi
• 1 to 2 Tablespoons of Soy Sauce

Snap the ends off of your asparagus stems before steaming them.  They will naturally break at the tough/tender line.

Steam the asparagus for about 4 to 5 minutes until they are tender to poke with a fork, but not too mushy.  They will usually turn a brilliant shade of green when they are done.  Then Serve.

Best of all?  My kids love it!  It’s finger food after all…
