Wontons & Asparagus Dinner

Don’t know what to do with all that extra asparagus?  This simple, easy dinner is spicy and clean and takes just minutes to make!  

INGREDIENTS

1 pkg frozen wontons
3/4 cup sesame oil
1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 Tbsp chile sauce
1-3 Tbsp chili flakes, to taste
1 tsp paprika
3 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 tsp honey
3 Tbsp soy sauce
1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed

DIRECTIONS

• To make the chili oil. Combine the ginger, garlic, chile sauce, chili flakes, paprika, 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, and honey in a heat proof bowl. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat until it sizzles, 5 minutes. Pour the oil over the spices, stir to combine, then add 2 tablespoons soy sauce.

• In the same skillet, cook the asparagus over medium heat until tender, 3-5 minutes. Turn the heat off and add 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds. Toss to combine.

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the wontons until they float, 3-4 minutes. Toss the warm wontons in the chili oil. If desired, spoon over some of the hot wonton cooking water to create a spicy broth. Serve the asparagus on the side.
