Spicy Miso Marinated Green Asparagus Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F.
• Bend asparagus gently and allow to snap where they naturally break; discard end pieces.
• Lay asparagus on a roasting pan, and drizzle with oil and lightly sprinkle with salt.
• Roast for 20 minutes or until they are cooked through but not soft, shaking the pan mid-way through cooking.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool.
• Whisk together the rice vinegar, miso, water, sesame oil, and sugar, until sugar is dissolved and everything is thoroughly combined.
• Drizzle dressing over cool asparagus and allow to"marinate" at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Cut the cod into 4 equal pieces, rinse and pat dry.
• In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar and bring to a boil. Stir in the miso and mirin or sake. Place the pan back over medium-high heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and cool.
• Place the cod in a ceramic dish and coat with the miso glaze. Marinate the fish overnight or for at least four hours.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Wipe off the excess marinade from the fish (but do not rinse with water) and place skin-side down on the foil-lined pan.
• Drizzle the asparagus spears and sliced mushrooms with olive oil and season with kosher salt and black pepper. Toss to coat. Scatter the vegetables around the fish fillets.
• Broil the fish and vegetables for 10 to 15 minutes depending on the thickness of the cod, or until the fish has cooked through but is still flaky and the vegetables are fork tender.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with Reynolds® Parchment Paper. Place mushrooms on baking sheet and drizzle with half the olive oil and half the salt. Set aside momentarily.
• Center green beans on a sheet of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil and drizzle with remaining olive oil and salt. Fold over edges of foil to create a packet. Ensure it is tightly sealed.
• Place the mushrooms and the foil pack of green beans in the oven and roast for 10 minutes, stirring the mushrooms halfway through.
• Heat vegetable broth to a low simmer in a medium pot. Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Add the whole Thai chili to simmering broth (this will be removed later).
• Whisk the miso paste with hot water in small bowl until smooth then add to the broth. Continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
• Cook noodles according to package directions while the broth is simmering. When the noodles are done, evenly divide them into two serving bowls.
• Bring a small pot of water to a boil and carefully drop in the egg to cook for 6 minutes. Remove from water and peel.
• Divide the mushrooms and green beans between the two bowls and then pour the broth evenly between the bowls.
• Slice the egg in half and place 1 half in each bowl. Garnish with sliced green onion.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch asparagus just until tender, about 1 minute. Plunge into a bowl of cold water to cool. Drain asparagus and place in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour in vinaigrette and seal bag. Refrigerate at least 3 hours, turning bag occasionally.
• Just before serving, drain asparagus, reserving vinaigrette. Arrange on a serving platter and sprinkle with lemon zest, parsley, salt, and pepper. Serve reserved vinaigrette in a small dish on the side.

Steps:

• Cook the asparagus in boiling salted water until crisp-tender. (To cook them evenly, put the stalks in first, cook for a few minutes, then add the tips and cook for 2-3 minutes more.)
• Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking and to fix the green color. Drain well.
• In the meantime, sauté the chopped onions in the oil until limp. Add the red chili paste and stir.
• Add the sugar and mirin, then add the miso. If it gets a bit stuck to the pan, add a few drops of water and stir and scrape to deglaze the pan. Take off the heat.
• Add the aspargus and mix well so each piece is coated with the marinade.
• Layer into glass or ceramic bowl or container (not plastic, because the miso and chili will stain it) evenly. Cover with kitchen parchment paper, then put another bowl or container filled with water; this acts as a weight.
• Leave the asparagus to marinate for at least an hour - you can leave it in the refrigerator overnight. Take off the weight and store the asparagus in a tightly covered container.
• The asparagus will keep for a couple of days in the refrigerator, but it will gradually lose its green color so you should try to eat it up as soon as possible. This is not that hard to do. (It's pretty good mixed with hot pasta.)
• You can halve the amount of marinade, and marinade just half a bundle of asparagus and use the rest of the cooked stalks for dinner.
