Karashi Zuke (Miso-Marinated Asparagus)

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Snap the tips from the asparagus and save for future use.  Slice the
stalks lengthwise into strips 1/2" wide, then cut these into 1 1/2"
lengths. Over high heat, bring 2 c water to a boil.  Add the
asparagus, return to the boil, and drain immediately in a sieve.  Run
under cold water to cool them quickly, and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the miso with the dry mustard & mix
until smooth.  Spread half the mixture in a shallow baking dish &
cover with a double thickness of cheesecloth the size of the dish.
Place the asparagus in one layer on the cheesecloth & cover with
another double thickness of cheesecloth.  Top with the remaining miso
& mustard mixture.  Marinate for about 3 hours at room temperature,
or refrigerate overnight.
Discard the dressing before serving the asparagus.
