Sauteed Asparagus with Shiro Dashi

• 5 stalks Asparagus
• 1 tsp Sake
• 1/2 tsp Shiro-dashi
• 1 Black pepper (or bonito flakes, if you prefer)
• 1 tsp Vegetable oil

1. Rinse the asparagus, peel the outer skins, and cut the ends.
2. In the above photo, I cut over 10 stalks into halves.
3. Saute in vegetable oil until browned, then add sake and shiro dashi.
4. Cover with a lid until they reach your desired tenderness, then sprinkle on some pepper and serve.
5. Saute with pork, bacon, or sausage, and serve it up as a main dish.
6. Add more shiro dashi if desired.
7. This also works as a bento item.
