Looking for a quick, easy way to prepare the asparagus that’s plentiful in your produce section this spring?

This recipe has an Asian taste that marries sweet and sour flavors and makes a perfect side dish to broiled chicken or fish. Select firm, straight stalks with closely closed tips, whether you like pencil-thin or thick stalks. Choose stalks of uniform size for even cooking.

  • 1 shallot, sliced into thin rings
  • 1 lb asparagus, tough ends removed, sliced diagonally into 1-inch pieces

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 teaspoons hoisin sauce
