The fatter (male)
asparagus were better off
steamed or to be cooked in a
fish soup while the thinner (female) asparagus are worthy of stir-fries or in omelette. That's personal preference, really.
The sweet caramelized onions and carrots in this
Asparagus Stir-Fry with Toasted Sesame Seeds complement with the flavors of fresh asparagus and fragrant
toasted sesame seeds
. Yum!
