Instructions
- Rinse the asparagus and pat it dry with kitchen towels. Trim the bottom stems and cut the asparagus into equal halves.
- Lay a slice of pork diagonally on the cutting board. Place one asparagus spear on top of the pork and roll it up tightly. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and set aside.
- Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and place the wrapped asparagus in a single layer. Cook one side for 1 minute, then flip and cook the other side for another minute, or until golden brown. (I didn’t add oil, as the fat will be released from the meat on its own.)
- Add the sauce mixture and stir occasionally, cooking for 5–8 minutes over medium-low heat until the sauce is reduced and thickened. The asparagus should cook as the sauce simmers and thickens.
- Turn off the heat, then dish out and serve immediately, sprinkled with white sesame on top.
Notes
- It is recommended to use thin and baby asparagus to make the wraps, since they cook faster than regular asparagus.
- To ensure the meat will remain tender and juicy after cooking, it's best to use the thinly sliced pork belly or pork collar.
- The sauce shouldn't be too thick and gloppy, but coated lightly over the wraps.
