Step-by-Step Instructions
Here’s how to craft this Delicious Asian-Roasted Asparagus with Fried Eggs Recipe:
Step 1: Prep the Asparagus
- Rinse asparagus under cold water to remove any grit.
- Snap off the tough ends where they naturally break.
- Place trimmed spears in a large bowl.
Step 2: Whip Up the Asian Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Whisk until fully combined into a glossy, flavorful sauce.
Step 3: Roast the Asparagus
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Pour the sauce over the asparagus and toss to coat evenly.
- Arrange spears in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly browned.
Step 4: Fry the Eggs
- Heat a splash of cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Crack 4 eggs into the pan, keeping yolks intact.
- Cook until whites are set and yolks are runny (or to your liking).
- Season with salt and pepper.
Tip: For extra flair, sprinkle sesame seeds over the asparagus before roasting. Pair it with ideas from our shrimp scampi sides.
