Ingredients

  • 1 Shallot peeled and finely minced
  • 1 Teaspoon Rice Vinegar
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoon White Wine Vinegar
  • 1 Teaspoon Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Soy Sauce or Bragg
  • 2 Teaspoons Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 Teaspoon Lime Juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/8 Teaspoon Coarse Salt optional
  • 1 Teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/2 lb. Portobello Mushrooms wipe cleaned and sliced
  • 1 lb Asparagus washed.
  • 2 Teaspoons Black Sesame Seeds toasted

Instructions

  • To make the dressing: Whisk together the shallot, vinegars, sugar, water, sesame oil, lime juice and salt. Taste it and season with salt if you find it necessary. Set it aside.
  • For the Salad: Steam the asparagus until it is bright green and still crisp, about 5 minutes. Let it cool for 10 minutes and slice them into 2 inch pieces.
  • Sautee mushrooms in a skillet until the moisture released by the mushrooms has evaporated and they are golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Place the mushrooms and asparagus into a serving platter and evenly drizzle it with the dressing.
  • When ready to eat sprinkle it with toasted sesame seeds.
