Ingredients
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound)
Kosher salt
Directions
- Hold both ends of a stalk of asparagus and bend it until it snaps. Then use a knife to trim the remainder of the bunch to match. Discard the trimmed stems.
- Pour about an inch of water into a skillet or wok and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Put the asparagus in a steamer basket and season with salt. Set the steamer basket over the boiling water and cook until tender, 4 to 6 minutes depending on the thickness. Transfer the asparagus to a plate and serve.
