Spring Asparagus with Umami Hollandaise Sauce

Instructions

Step 1

Place the butter in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave at 600W for 1 minute.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix [A], then gradually add the warm melted butter from step 1, stirring until thickened.

Step 3

Trim 1/2 inch off the bottom of the asparagus, peel the lower part with a peeler, and boil in salted water. Rinse under cold water to cool.

Step 4

Arrange the asparagus on a plate and drizzle with the sauce from step 2.

Tip

Quickly mixing the hot, microwaved butter with the egg helps create a smooth, thick texture.
