20 minutes
Midori asparagus is an exquisite dish inspired by French gastronomic traditions. At its core is soy asparagus infused with the aromas of coriander, garlic, and three types of pepper. Carrots add a light sweetness and juiciness, while fried onions bring a piquant touch. Soy sauce and vinegar unite all flavors in a harmonious balance. The dish has a rich, spicy taste with a slight tang and pleasant texture – the asparagus remains firm, the carrots tender, and the spices reveal all facets of flavor enjoyment. It works wonderfully as an independent appetizer or as a side dish to meat and fish dishes. Midori asparagus is a culinary symphony where classic meets originality, creating delightful taste and unforgettable sensations.
