Ingredients
  • 1/2 lb asparagus, raw
  • 1/4 tbsp Smart Balance
  • 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 tsp sesame oil

Directions
  1. Rinse asparagus and discard tough ends. Snap into pieces or leave whole.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high, heat butter and brown sugar until sugar is dissolved.
  3. Add asparagus; saute for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in chicken broth and sesame oil; bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender (I like very crisp veggies...if you prefer mushier, softer asparagus just let it go 5 or so minutes longer).
  6. Remove asparagus to a serving dish and keep warm.
  7. Cook sauce, uncovered, until reduced by half.
  8. Pour over asparagus and serve immediately.
