Sesame Asparagus with Carrots

Morsels of Life - Sesame Asparagus with Carrots - Asparagus with an Asian flair. Cook up your asparagus with some carrots in sesame oil and toss with the wonderfulness of furikake!

I recently purchased some asparagus while it was on sale. However, I wanted to try something new, so I started looking around at what I had on hand. This time, I didn't have a whole lot of produce to pick from, so I kept it simple with just carrots and items from the pantry stash - sesame oil and furikake. Don't skip out on the furikake! It really makes the dish, adding a sweet and savory flavor that's full of delicious. In fact, you might even want to add more furikake. I know I did! You should be able to find furikake in the Asian section of your grocery store for a few dollars or on Amazon. I just used the basic stuff here, but there's all sorts of flavors available. Experiment around to find your favorite. :)

What's your favorite way to enjoy asparagus?

    Oh this looks delicious. I always bake my asparagus because always turns out yucky when I make it on the stove. I have no clue what I do wrong.

    Oooh - I like baking asparagus too! It's much less work - just toss it in the oven and take it out. :) On the stove, I usually toss it around a bit at the very beginning to get all the flavors mixed up, and then let it sit a while, then toss briefly again. What do you do when cooking on the stove?
