EASY WAYS TO PREPARE ASPARAGUS:
Boiled: Cook fresh or frozen asparagus quickly in a small
amount of water in a saucepan or steamer until tender.
Aprrox. 10 minutes for fresh, 7 minutes for frozen.
Stir-Fry: Stir-fry asparagus pieces in a small amount of hot
oil, stirring constantly until tender-crisp (about 3 to 5
minutes).
Microwave: Place fresh asparagus in a baking dish with tips
in center. Add about 1/4 cup of water and cover. Microwave at
100% power: 6-9 minutes for spears, 5-7 minutes for pieces.
Stir to rearrange after cooking.
