Used a third of the $1.30 asparagus from Safeway to make asparagus with miso butter. Apologies for the photo – it was still pretty dark out when I took this shot.
Asparagus Egg Butter and oil Not too salty miso (pref white) Sherry vinegar (I used red bc that’s what I had)
Modified the recipe for one person and bc I can’t poach an egg. Fried the asparagus in two Tb oil until browned. Drained on paper towel. Microwaved 1 Tb miso for 10 seconds, added 1 TB of butter and microwaved for 5 more seconds. Slowly mixed together. Goal is to combine into paste without melting the butter, just softening. Added 1/4 tsp vinegar (helps to cut the salt). Cleaned the pan, added a tiny bit of butter and fried the egg. Smeared the miso butter on plate and topped with asparagus and egg; sopped up yolk and miso with toast. Asparagus was a bit tough even though so thin; think if I ever used Safeway asparagus again I’d boil and (and maybe get thicker ones so I could peel most of the skin on the stem). Combo was delicious.
