Stir-Fried Asparagus and Sesame Seeds (Weight Watchers)

Stir-Fried Asparagus and Sesame Seeds (Weight Watchers)

Ingredients:
soup, chicken broth or bouillon, dry
soy sauce made from soy (tamari)
cornstarch
oil, olive, salad or cooking
onions, spring or scallions (includes tops and bulb), raw
spices, ginger, ground
spices, garlic powder
asparagus, raw
seeds, sesame seeds, whole, dried
oil, sesame, salad or cooking

Directions:
In a small bowl, blend the chicken broth and soy sauce with the corn starch.
In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil until hot but not smoking.
Add the scallions, ginger, and garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant or about 30 seconds.
Add the asparagus and stir-fry until the asparagus turns bright green, about 1 minute.
Add the broth mixture and bring to a boil.
Cook, stirring, until the sauce has thickened.
Cover and steam over medium-high heat until the asparagus is crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, stir the sesame seeds over medium heat until toasted (I put mine in the microwave for a minute instead).
This will take 2 to 4 minutes on the stove.
Add the sesame oil to the asparagus and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
Sprinkle the asparagus with the sesame seeds and serve.
