Speed Cooking - Microwave Steam Asparagus

Description

You can steam a lot of things with microwave oven. You can buy a steam bag but you can also make your own by just using plastic food wrapping. What I like about asparagus is they are easy to prepare and taste very good after streaming.

Ingredients

  • 1 bn asparagus

Instructions

  • Wash the asparagus
  • Break off the ends by bending it like you would bend a bow. 
  • Place asparagus in a plate with several spoons of water. 
  • Cover the plate with plastic food wrapper but leave some opening at the side so extra hot steam has a way to escape. 
  • Microwave for 5 minutes. 

Notes

When you bend the asparagus like a bow, the ends will break off naturally. Asparagus dries up from the end. Naturally when you bend the asparagus, the dry part will automatically break off. The fresher the asparagus the smaller the piece that will break off.

Timing of microwave oven will be different depends on the power output of your microwave. Experiment and get the best result you want.
